Fashion

First zebra walking by,
     I never thought to look him in the eye.
     Elegant animal with fine black stripes.
     I asked him who his tailor was,
     So I could see what stripes would look like on me.


     He never answered,
     Just walked away.
     I still think I would look fine,
     But perhaps polka dots would be better.
     Just for today.
