Explore "The Huckster" by Edward Thomas on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
He has a hump like an ape on his back;
He has of money a plentiful lack;
And but for a gay coat of double his girth There is not a plainer thing on the earth This fine May morning.
But the huckster has a bottle of beer;
He drives a cart and his wife sits near Who does not heed his lack or his hump;
And they laugh as down the lane they bump This fine May morning.
