A chance meeting with an old man in leather on a foggy morning, told with a shrug and a grin. The repeated 'how do you do' makes a fine call and response.

From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.

One misty moisty morning,
    When cloudy was the weather,
I chanced to meet an old man,
    Clothed all in leather.
He began to compliment
    And I began to grin.
How do you do? And how do you do?
    And how do you do again?
