Country Clothes Poem by John Rickell

Who was this
in country clothes
suitable for most occasions?
green jacket, check shirt.
We spoke and laughed,
admired the dogs and guns
walked side by side,
leaned the bar, drank our ale,
mud upon the brick and mat.
At the door went our ways
pulled down our caps
heel Jack, Nero heel.
Who he was I failed to ask
he didn't ask me either;
next time I shall ask,
walking down the lane,
in our country clothes.
suitable for most occasions.
