Patchy rain
Drizzle...
Plough lands
Measured out
To rood or perch.
The swig on a porter bottle,
Higglers,
Enquiring of the road,
Or timber down
Pups for sale!
A man was never poor
If he had a pig
A sow,
Or the pincer
Grip!
Throw your eye over
The optics,
The trig points,
The Gunter's chain,
A brolly was your
Only man.
The blur
Of declarations
"Who'd be asking?"
Clock watching
The shadows
Creeping over the floor
The aspidistra
Was leaning towards
The sun.
