Seeing Charlie Newman ...



On my way to The Salt Pig, I saw Charlie Newman - 

I wondered if he ever took off his black beret - 

The last time I'd seen him had been in The Square and Compass

Boys were drinking cider watching a wild band - 

Charlie was wearing a magnificent shaggy jersey - 

In the museum along the passage were exquisite ammonites - 

Girls were laughing under the starless sky - 

Charlie acknowledged the greetings of well wishers - 

The night lapped the shores of his louche kingdom -
