Ode to the Stretchy Skirt...

PAD Challenge day 7: 

For today’s prompt, pick an article of clothing, make it the title of your poem, 

and then, write your poem.

 (below, a 'stretchy skirt' and shirt load enjoying one of our last nice laundry days; not today) 😁

Stretchy skirts are so forgiving

Room enough for give and take

After all, dears, We. Are. Women.

(Therefore men, we fluctuate)

Toss that scale out of the window

Why ruin a perfect day

Grab a stretchy skirt and sweater

Never mind what numbers say

Ask yourself…how are you feeling?

Do a two-step, whirl and twirl

In a stretchy skirt, no limits

You can feel like a school-girl

Don’t cater to fashion experts

Pulling, pinching, cinching, ouch!

Grab a stretchy skirt and sweater

And you will not be a grouch

Stretchy skirts are always perfect

Never out of season-style

Get a couple, it is worth it!

You will smile and smile and smile

Stretchy skirts are so obliging

Polite to a fault, (I know)

But they deserve a small homage

“Stretchy skirt, I love you so”
