The Lost English Gentleman

by Wolf Haines   Aug 8, 2008


He had 'The Times' folded under his arm,
Walking cane by his side.
Pin stripe suit and plenty of charm.
Bowler hat on head and a slow steady stride.
A chirpy polite Good morning' to all he passes.
A pocket watch and brightly shined shoes.
In his pocket a pair of reading glasses.
A waistcoat no lighter than the colour navy blue.
Speaking the Queens English in a gentlemans tone.
A man of honesty and honour of which he is proud.
Never a man to be heard to condone,
Never a man to raise his voice too loud.
