A doff of the cap
a tip of the hat
Nowadays
we rarely see that
It’s not that
men walk about
unhatted, uncapped
Rather, removing the cap
reveals quite a gap

His rainment bleak
Snarls of hair matted
Bloated shoes mud-streaked
Wisps of hair unhatted
Muttered imprecations
Hiding teeth jagged
A bedraggled skeleton
Cursing Nature, near-ragged
Those with golden locks
and eyes of deep blue
Face the mirror squarely
Could his image have been you?
