The Huxter

________________________________________________
Title:     The Huxter
Author: Edward Thomas [More Titles by Thomas]

HE has a hump like an ape on his back;
He has of money a plentiful lack;
And but for a gay coat of double his girth
There is not a plainer thing on the earth
This fine May morning.

But the huxter has a bottle of beer;
He drives a cart and his wife sits near
Who does not heed his lack or his hump;
And they laugh as down the lane they bump
This fine May morning.

[The end]
Edward Thomas's poem: Huxter
