I run my finger along the rail

of trousers hanging there on hook

Why one shall hang upon a nail

In the shed well  there  look

This one could not shout louders

Here "I am! allotment trousers!"

I look at Peter's blue and glossy

tied with rope in bow.

He knows his onions but he's not bossy

Done for function not for show

"Bow ties are more for Housers"

"me, I like me 'llotment trousers"

Spring is here and its brighter

Sowing and weeding, bending low

And the trousers getting tighter

Admire the furrow and long to hoe,

tighten muscles in cotton blouses

Standing proud - allotment trousers
