He always lunched
at the Mario,
one hamburger,
onions and some pickles,
always the same thing
accompanied by a beer,
his blue eyes and a buck
always paid the bill.

No one can replace him, either.
His eyes were captivating.

A great man Yann and a great actor

They don't make them like that anymore.

Bonjour Yann...
I do like this offering from you .. I think the bit about his blue eyes was just perfect!

Paris was oh so wonderful - I think I even managed to become Parisienne just for a little

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

He was not only a man who believed in ethics,
he took ethics to the limit. It would be great
if we could clone more of his and his wife's ilk.
