Battle Green and Velvet

This is another old un originally from the late 19..... and dug up prior to moving on

Battle Green and Velvet

 

It was Battle green and velvet

Just my cup of tea

Or so I thought at the time

Although I only bought it

After she whispered in my ear

 

“It hangs well in the window don’t you think

and might well help you look the part

in a casual sort of way”  

 

I wore it once before she burnt it

Together with those other things

Acquired and left behind

That I might collect one day

When she was on her own
