Sophisticated:

I may be trained to be what I and all might have me be.

Beautiful; Well suited to your company. Dining throughout the night. Your conversations are informed and bright.

But each said with such conceited smile.

Civilised:

Lead by long life’s university.

I may be what you see .

Rested contentedly.

Comfortable in what I be.

I wait still being.

Hoping for a longer while.

As they approach the road a West Ham supporter throws the half empty can at the Tottenham team coach “Its people like that who make us ashamed of ourselves” he remarks.
Now moving somewhat forward to the away game a similar situation developes . Once again the home side supporter baptises the away team’s coach,
But who is riding on the shoulder as a grandfather inflicts yet anther pearl of wisdom, “Its people like that who make US ashamed of ourselves” he remarks.
Optimistic, tortoise like, “the grandson of the original carried” is the answer favoured by Smith..
