Stain
My jacket has a little stain
So should I wear it? I'll refrain
Except on days I babysit;
My grandkids will not mind one bit.
In fact, I really do suspect
(But can't be sure - I never checked)
That where this blotch first took its bow
Was in the place I'll wear it now.
A garment's lifespan must depend
On how it's treated 'til the end,
So what one wears with babes along
Will never really last too long.
