bishupoetry Inspired by "A Coat" by Late Mr William Butler Yeats
The Old Coat
Made by a renowned tailor
The old tweed coat
Junked by its first owner
A rich numinsmatist
Bought for almost free
From a flea market downtown
By an unfortunate have-not
In the picturesque hill town
Patched and darned
In myriad squares
Still protects the wearer
From the stiff winter bites
The tailors tag still glistens
Beneath poverty and want
The wearer is now hunting
For a pair of old denims
The numinsmatist has bought
A dozen tweed jackets
To adorn his wardrobe
coatman dreams of a new coat

Inspiration and dedication Respected Sir William Butler Yeats 
A nice read, my friend. As
A nice read, my friend. As for me - I rarely ever buy anything new to wear, so my old clothes are tattered rags when I'm finished with them. They aren't fleamarket worthy.
Great many thanks for your kind comment Mr Vance my friend
