Snug in gaffer's tweed ...

Logs smouldered inside the wood burning stove - 

Radiators warmed kindly alcoves - 

Dorset Apple Cake graced sturdy china - 

I pictured myself, snug in gaffer's tweed - 

Here, in the years ahead - 

Taking off my alpaca gloves - 

Shown my chair with the view of the poplars -

The river running to the sea - 

I'd drink my toddy in its heavy glass - 

I'd wait for the moon to fill the sky -
