Headed home from a business trip
Tired, spaced out, grouchy and impatient
Pushing the limit to beat rush hour traffic
Fast closing on an old, beat up van

Suddenly I looked up as something caught my eye
A very pretty girl saunters in and buys herself a coffee
And perches herself cross-legged upon a cleared table in front of me
