Whistle and Boot

AuburnScribbler

For reasons both; of wear and tear

and biochemical shoot,

nothing seems; so tailor made

to cover bare; with suit,

 

even though; weight has been lost

a bulge; there still; remains,

if the wrong waistcoat is worn; makes

pinged off button pains,

 

thus, eyes peeled; for charities;

who house a hearty deal,

in purchasing; donated gift

will make; so good; a feel,

 

but; three months of near misses,

rotted; hope; so lean,

lo’ a three piece glad rag,

was found at Radcliffe scene,

 

finally it is with me,

my new whistle and boot,

render me respectable

perhaps; be called; so cute, thus

 

paint my guppy smile,

so, love song can be played, for

such romance; has far too long

stewed inside the shade.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I'll be going to a cousin's wedding this December, but I realised I needed a new suit, due to some rapid weight loss after my recent decline in health. My mother and I, have been charity shop searching for our "glad rags" for the last three months, and during that time, it has been full of "it doesn't quite fit" moments. But, just last week, both of us eventually found what we were looking for, at a charity shop in Radcliffe on Trent. We just need a few extra bits, and then our outfits will be complete. Who knows, my appearance could be good enough to ensnare someone at the wedding, but I wouldn't want to tempt fate, as at the moment, trying to look after myself, is quite enough thank you. I hope that you enjoy the poem, and as always, please do stay safe everyone.

    What's so absolutely charming about this winsome rendition of reality is how sweetly you've tricked out the same to effect, which is what I love about this genre, where the mundane is elevated to far loftier status by a little flick of the wrist, so to say. Thank you very much for sharing, and I wish you all success.

      Thanks for the read, for favouriting this poem, and for your wonderfully worded whimsical commentary, it is very much appreciated Cheeky Missy.

      I am glad that my poetic "flick of the wrist" has amused you, and thank you again for such warm encouragement.

      I hope that all is well.

      I am sure that after looking for a long while Ben the suit you have found will make you look handsome but be sure you don't dress better than the groom. LOL.

        Thanks for the read and for your kind words Andy, they are very appreciated.

        I will try my hardest not to override the groom in terms of presentability, but with my mug, I am sure that I can pass that test, hahaha!

        I hope that all is well.
