Notes About The Poem

The Man in Leather

A strange looking construction
at a local market.  Quite innate
So I ask.  Hey
what's this building mate

Now this not so big construction
made from corrugated iron and timber poles
Being portable 
there's no need to dig some holes

This stall holder 
is immaculately dressed
Leather top leather shorts and thongs
leather string to tie a frontal hairy bun
Here now is the explanation this man expressed

A strong German accent 
so hard to understand
Here are his words 
that quickly came to hand

When he described this work piece of art  
several times repeated !! A doony a doony a doony
Not comprehended he says it's a sheeeeeeeethouse
Understood!! A meeting rather foony
