Sandwich Man

A fervent beep from his horn,

signals

the ‘Sandwich Mans' arrival ...

Hungry employees, funds in hand,

one by one

take their order to the 'Sandwich Man'

The man is discussion, I do not know

his image

conjures up, to me, a theatrical show. 

Two slices of wholemeal bread make up his coat,

buttons to fasten,

olives stuffed to the brim…with cheese from a goat.

Legs covered by trousers of ham…honey roast,

slip into

lettuce shoes, with soles of golden brown toast.

A bacon shirt, ready to fry

Is closed

at the collar by a spring onion tie.  

 

His attire is brought to a close

with a

Marzipan hat, the colour of rose.

 

Everyday, when I hear the horn of his van

I smile  

and

 enjoy this image of the 'Sandwich Man'
