Ventures

He said he was Herbert Buttery
Born and bred in Woodley Edge
And was owner of a little business
Repurposing outdated  artificial legs.
They were a family of collectors.
His brother lived in Haywards Heath
And his speciality was amassing 
Pre owned sets of  artificial teeth.
They were here on neutral ground 
To consider  a joint venture 
Outside their specific fields  
Of  either Prosthetic or denture.
He made no further comment 
Of the content of their proposal
Other to confirm they had
Sufficient funds at their disposal.
Such strange folk i thought
As I bid him a fond adieu
To continue with my project 
Of harvesting  Equinoxal dew.
