Denim

Sure, I own a denim jacket And, of course, a bunch of jeans. All my closets have held denim Since the time I hit my teens. Back in high school and in college There was little else to wear; Maybe corduroy or khaki’d Show up on my derriere. Though my wardrobe’s now more varied (There’s no denim skirt or vest), Jeans are still among the choices Every day when I get dressed. So I owe a debt to Davis* And his partner, Levi Strauss, For providing me with bottoms I can match with top or blouse. *Jacob W. Davis
