An Afghan with a turban on...

Can anyone help Paula with this?
Dear Hal and Brenda
I wonder if you could possibly help me.
My father in law is 85 and a great reciter of poetry.
He has a few favourites, and one of them is about a bloke who went to the pub
and ran a book on the types of hats at the bar – panamas, felts etc
One line that BJ recites is, and he isn’t too sure if it is accurate, goes:
“An afghan with a turban on, a skinner for the books” walks in through the pub door, and the bloke
looses his money.
He has never been able to establish who wrote the poem.
Is there a chance that you may know?
It would make his day if he could find out.
Thank you.
Kind Regards
