Note……...the title is a common French saying which suggests the repetitive nature of life. I have done an extra ( witty?) item for each letter of the alphabet to suggest different forms of “repetitiveness”. Each line is intended to be said aloud, thus for example “Metro boulot Quito” or “Metro Boulot Volvo”. My kids, when young, enjoyed this kind of word-play based on wit and humor. I still enjoy it.
