There's a Bloke In This Cafe Wearing Heart-Shaped Spectacles

there's a bloke in this cafe wearing 
heart-shaped spectacles 

they're a mauve slash purple colour
but they're not your franklin bi-focals

john hegley said you could trust
a man in glasses (big time)

harry angstrom felt naked
wearing glasses

his posture is overblown
he's sampling his tea genially

with an extensive face
he's immersed in his smartphone

like that horse that needed lenses
rothschild with his zebra carriage

there were no heart-shaped glasses 
on the hill in calvary

my four-year-old-son told me
he wanted to eat my glasses

I just had to read your first. Just as good as your latest. One day, I'll read them all. You are very intriguing.
