Title
Dodger Lyons
Description
A man with a dishevelled appearance stands on an Edinburgh street holding out a jug towards passersby.

The poet, Donald Campbell has written a poem inspired by this character by Holt:

Dodger Lyons

Here's Dodger Lyons, the tramp
that some folk might think a 'wee scamp'.
At ducking and diving,
sneaking and skiving,
he's certainly some kind of champ!
