Into the coffee house he walked,
A man of many years,
Family around him.
Stopped at a table,
Made sure his family were comfortable,
Went off to buy the coffee.
Nothing at all strange about this
But he was dressed so smartly,
Light blue jacket,
Grey trousers,
White shirt
And a pink and grey striped tie.
Such a pleasure to see
A man dressed this way.
It brought me back to my time,
My time many years ago
When I dressed like that,
Dressed like that every day
As I went to work.
Dressed correctly for the occasion,
In a suit, collar and tie,
And of course polished shoes.
It made me think of those passed days
When many dressed so smartly,
Yet it took this one occasion
Seen this day
To take me back
To those wonderful times
When men dressed so smartly.
