THE IRON MONGER
nails, screws, nuts and bolts
Supplier of household needs
Ace is now the place
THE SIGN WRITER
A gold leaf expert
a master calligrapher
artist to be read
THE SCRIVENER
Worked on Wills and Deeds
Always writing legibly
Since replaced by Word
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
THE NIGHT WATCHMAN
Eyes now dilated
watching in the still darkness
ready for trouble.
THE TOWN CRIER
Come, Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
I bring a proclamation
Spring will be here soon!
Seventy-one years
Since the Brabazon took flight
Test pilot, Bill Pegg
Footnote: I wrote this in April and scheduled it for publication on September 4th, the anniversary of the maiden flight. In the meantime, WordPress changed its format nd my scheduled post disappeared. So here it is resurrected.
