Another soggy morning
I text my love
on the third day of rain
who likes to receive
cheery aubades.
Try squeezing some goodness
out of this one, I say
as the clothes look bedraggled
on the line
sodden, sorry smiles.
It’s La Nina, I say
you’ll have to stay out there
a little longer.
F**k La Nina,
my ripped jeans snarl.
They always had an attitude problem.

hahahaha – they refuse to be sweet-talked

Jeans with an attitude problem. That explains a lot. Never wear them, they kind of wear’s off 🙂

I love ripped jeans. Perhaps it is the attitude of rebellion they provoke when I see them.

🙂 I like that; whenever I write a poem about the clothes I wear, those ripped jeans badger me to put them at the top of the poem — or the end for a ‘killer’ conclusion 🙂 you don’t say ‘no’ 🙂

Never argue with frayed denim, it could be hanging by its last thread 😉
