RED BRAG

A fellow who tended to brag

Went round waving a brilliant red rag,

But while he was up-staging

A great bull came raging

And the fellow soon waved a white flag.

THAT LINEN LOOK!

I have very often stated

That I think linen over-rated!

True it has a 'posh' cache

As though its wearers hope to say

*

'Look well! I can afford the best!

My taste is better than the rest!

Synthetic clothes may fit the bill

For those whose bank account is 'nil',

But I look smart in the Real McCoy.

Linen means I'm not hoi polloi!

Only natural fibres pass

For people from the Upper Class!'

*

Then you stand up and oh the creases!

Your superiority ceases!

Your skirt's all wrinkled where you've sat

Having a pleasant little chat.

I see you looking almost rumpled;

Quite untidy, very crumpled.

You smooth yourself, to no avail;

The creases simply still prevail,

While we, synthetically adorned,

We, the previously scorned,

Rise, unblemished, from our seats,

Being man-made-fibre cheats!

Polyester rules the day!

(Well....sometimes...in a sort of way.)
