The City Gent

Walking stick as, Furled Umbrella
Black Bowler Hat, Savill Row suit, 
Waistcoats and ties, Offering for predella
Briefcase of leather, to carry the loot

Gentlemen of the city, strolling so pretty,
dressed to impress, Polished shoes, 
Fat Cat and Bankers, don’t need our pity
Private clubs, Business hub not to lose

The streets of London, Striped trousers
Financial pages of pink, the odd wink
The old boy network, old money browsers
Deals done after hours, over a bottle of drink
