I never forget a face,

As far back as I can trace,

I always forget names,

I don't ever remember names,

I never keep a neighbour's name,

My wife says, " What a shame ! "

That strange memory of mine,

Helps my own business be fine,

In a moment I connect a face with a place,

Business goes on , that's just the case ,

Strangely enough, once I couldn't remember,

That face of the train passenger ,

That ugly face seemed to me familiar,

To the extent that I got closer,

I wanted to speak, but he was too weak,

To answer me or to stay awake,

When we got to our destination,

I woke him up kindly at our station,

It was blowing like the end of the world,

The rain was pouring, that's why I pitied

and offered him a lift, he gave his consent,

That wasn't his plan, but I only helped,

Across the open country and almost halfway,

 He wanted to get out and refused to stay ,

He hit me hard on the head ,

And I instantly fainted ,

Did he pull me out of the car? Yes, he did.

He robbed me of my money, gold watch,

Umbrella, car and everything which ,

I had with me and left me in a ditch ,

"Wanted for robbery with violence and attempted murder."

These were the words written under his picture ,

On the police station walls, his picture always lies,

Never trust your memory, it sometimes lies ,

For being kind-hearted, that was the prize .
