Ode to the Stretchy Skirt...

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”
