Bowler hats and brollies on the 7.42,
(Hinchley Wood, Clapham, Waterloo)
privet-packaged houses, net curtains a-twitch,
shanks pony for the hoi-polloi, Bentleys for the rich'
Sunday allotments, cabbages and beans,
Morris men outside the Swan, cricket on the green,
"Rag 'n' Bones!" on Tuesdays, bobby on the
beat,
sweets from the
corner shop - Saturday treat!
