Wearing the Ibiza hat ...

Paul gave me his Ibiza hat - 

I wore it when I walked down Wanstead High Street -

I thought, wearing this hat, I must look like a Londoner - 

I could be on my way to the bowls or the darts - 

I could have mates in Loughton - 

I admired the reflection of my hat in the window of The Ginger Pig - 

Behind the glass were opulent hams - 

Anne asked after strange potions in the health food shop - 

Goldfish swam in an antique tank - 

A man in a white linen suit passed us on the pavement - 

Happy Monday he said -
