Brogue

(Poetry Scales 3) 

When Paddy rides his motorbike
in his cordovan wingtip brogues
he don’ caire if anyone notices
and he don’ caire if anyone knows
that he don’ have any stockings on
and thair is sweat all ‘round his toes.

But it’s unlikely anyone caires
‘bout his stockings or ‘bout his toes
‘cause aside from his motorbike helmet
he’s only really wearing those cordovan wingtip brogues

…and chaps.
