The Private House

If you should drive
Past Cow Pasture Barns
You will see a sign for; well
Make your own mind on that

The sign says
Potatoes £4-00
Nothing more, nothing less, quite simply:
Potatoes £4-00

Before the barns
Before the private house
The private house
Which used to be a public house

You may see the old man
The old man in the big garden
I don't expect, unlike the potato sign
That he is always there

But he was there, today
In the big garden
The big garden
Before the corner

The corner with the private house
A private house
Which used to be a public house
A public house before the Cow Pasture Barns

The Cow Pasture Barns with a sign that says
Potatoes £4-00
No more, no less - ever so simple
Potatoes £4-00
