Mister Kavanagh and Mister Gould

Kavanagh: Oh Mister Gould! Oh Mister Gould!
Are you enjoying sitting there upon the bench?

Gould: I have my scarf on and my gloves
To keep me warm when it gets cold
But I find — do you agree? — that people put their arms ’round me
Which is intrusive and quickly becomes old

Kavanagh: Positively, Mister Gould!

Gould: Absolutely, Mister Kavanagh!
