Fashion Today Makes My Eyes Tear

Twenty-one pairs of blue jeans Teenage girls twirl and preen A place to them forever dear Grandma is parked on bench so near This store pays rent in a high priced mall Clothing prices are kind of steep and tall Not the jazziest clothes I have seen Frankly none of them to me are keen Do not know where you have been But these clothes are not a ten Some of the blouses are way too sheer Showing too much skin is totally clear. Granddaughter tries on a pile of stuff She looks adorable in jeans with cuff The prices here are way out of line But she thinks this stuff is real fine. Why do children want to wear brand name? Is being invisible their end game? Fashion today makes my heart and eyes tear Where is silk, satin and pretty cashmere?
