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
