Cufflinks

Does anyone still buy, for dad,
Some cufflinks on this day?
It’s what I sometimes bought for mine
When shirts were made that way.

It had to be a local store
Which carried varied clothes,
Including the accessories;
That’s how the mem’ry goes.

My dad’s been gone for many years,
Those cufflinks likely tossed.
His place within my heart, though,
Hasn’t ever gotten lost.

I wish a Happy Fathers’ Day
To all who fit the bill
And hope, with cufflinks or without,
Somebody’s heart you’ll fill.

The stylish Chassidishe Jews as well as the ultra-Orthodox ALL wear cufflinks on Shabbos. Many wear them every day too.
