A Flaneur in Old Khakis
A rustic dilettante, all
ready to flirt
In his old khakis and a
chambray shirt
Old boots, old gloves, a mattock
or rake to wield
A boulevardier of row
crops in the field
He tips his old straw hat
to the morning sun
Considers the corn silks’
latest fashion for fun
Discusses pitch and tone
with a passing breeze
And notes the colours in
the apple trees
The latest songs and jokes
he very well knows
And shares the latest
gossip with clever crows
This rare sophisticate whose
sidewalk cafes’
Are nature’s dreamy scenes
along nature’s ways
