Charade

swan-necked 
  Audrey 
dons Givenchy 
  eats & cruises
the Seine to 
   accordion 
with a thief 
  she’s chasing 
& she's chased 
  by odd men  
who meet odder 
  deaths she 
nibbles 
  chicken runs 
in heels & 
  her thief hops 
from ledge to 
  ledge name to 
name &
  face it 
solid stolid
  Brian's no
match for
  Peter 
Alexander 
   even 
Adam oh 
   can't she have 
one more 
   (please)
