Nice Clothes

Nice Clothes I was never a traditional “pretty girl” I was not ultra-feminine Though when younger And thinner I turned many a lady’s - And gentleman’s - head Clothes fit me quite nicely I was not a fashion plate by any means Still, I cut a good figure As they used to say Now I have a low paying job Barely enough To keep the proverbial Wolf from my door I cannot buy nice clothes In fact, I seldom buy any clothes The young, thin women Are complimented On their appearance Oh for the days of youth And thinness And head turning And when I had money For nice clothes March 27, 2007
