On the train this morning a girl fainted.
I had seen her swaying
like a 2p coin in an arcade machine
so I managed to lean forward and catch her
find her a seat
open the window, tell the conductor,
pass her a bottle of water from my bag.
I got off at the next station
but still wonder if she was okay.
It's like the time I was in the marketplace
and a baker fell over
and me and another man helped him to his feet
walked him to the bakery
and the next day when I went to buy bread
the shop was shut
and there were sirens in the distance.

Now I'm going to be chewing on this all day which I expect is exactly what you wanted! ;-)!
