Fandom: Jeeves & Wooster
Poetic form: English sonnet
Length: 108
Rating: Gen
Inspired by: the image at the bottom

pale cove beside the rural lane is perched
on smartish trunks ‘neath city parasol
pale linen suit hangs crisp and un-besmirched
on willow frame, pale brim to crown it all

town chap beside the country way sits calm
and turns the page of gander-fleshing read
discounting fields and hills, bucolic balm
the present spot of b., the want of steed

pale fellow takes a pew and hums a bar
his brow lies smooth, un-rummy-ed by his circs,
‘Pale Hands I Loved Beside the Shalimar’
floats on the breeze, with liberties and quirks

two-seatered miss sought to mould and shame him
he’ll wait patiently ‘til Jeeves can claim him
