THE CHIMNEY SWEEP
Man and black-faced boy
Bag of brushes on a bike
cleaning your chimney
THE SEXTON
A church caretaker
Sometimes dug graves for the dead
Often rang the bells
THE DRAY MAN
With his horse pulling
the dray loaded with beer kegs
he goes pub to pub
Digger of trenches
Pick and shovel used no more
Replaced by back-hoe
Originally
Eking out a poor living
Picking through the trash
I am testing the Classic editor to determine if I can publish without a hitch.
THE LAMPLIGHTER
He emerged at dusk
with rod and hook in his hand
lighting gas mantles.
THE CHANDLER
One who makes or sells
Candles rendered from tallow
lighting dark pathways
THE COOPER
Barrel assembly
In French it’s the “mise en rose”
hogsheads and firkins
