A kindly faced bespectacled Father

In a 3 piece tweed

Handed me

An Edwardian pencil

Kit

With

A Bugatti Brescia

Painted a top

The tin

What lofty things you like he said

No sir

I simply know what I like

 

A ranger called for killer whales to be brought in

Once the waves calmed

By the iceberg…

In the dam

 

Sand dollars

Frilly yet demure

Victorian white dresses

The west coming alive

Where was I?

 

A young boy walking past said

The paddle boat steamer

Is a hotel now

I said I gathered that

He asked if I knew what it was used for

During

The civil war

Of course I replied

Hospitals and whore houses.
