A Picture On a Cafe Wall

A Picture on a Café Wall 

A farmer and his mule are kicking 
up dust on their way to Messines.

The mule has very long ears and 
the farmer wears a big, black hat.

 Side by side they walk the yonder 
yet, they have time to get there. 

The road is asphalted now, and 
dust settles on the grassy verge.
