Martin Challender Poet Rhyme

A Note To My Sartorial Self

This poem is penned to my sartorial self,
about wardrobe clothes on the rail or the shelf,
replica football shirts, too tight, too small,
threadbare cord trousers, I don’t wear at all,
now for recycling with all the rest,
while saving my smart shoes and suit just for best,
too many old clothes that I’ll never wear,
though some could be fixed with a minor repair,
soon I’ll be whistling a different tune,
when I sort my wardrobe out, some day quite soon,
into black bin bag with labels on top,
I’ll be best friends with the charity shop.

Nancy Kaufman August 8, 2024 at 5:58 AM We are all so guilty of consuming beyond what we need to sustain. I am right up there with you. I shop out of boredom I think as I no longer have to dress for work these days. I liked this write of yours and I now have some thing else on my "to do list". Martin Challender August 8, 2024 at 6:31 AM Hi Nancy, yes we've lost much of the "make do and mend" attitude of years gone by. So glad you liked this. Thanks for the positive feedback!
