I am in the cash desk,
the bar code does not want to work,
the cashier calls Etienne,
can you bring me some other tomatoes,
Etienne returns with a package different
from the one that I had bought…
They are the same he declaresl…
He is smiling, proud,
looks intelligent and polite .
Regrettably at the time of eating my tomatoes
they are past their sell-by date,
he was selling off his stocks…
In spite of his politeness
he was laughing at me,
appearances can be deceptive,
business can mock people.

Yo Yann,

Some people are just that way. We all have our faults.

This is a cute poem.
