Guessing Game
I must confess I like to guess
(And strictly based on how they dress)
Which people hope that they express
The parts of them meant to impress.
For what folks wear, if you compare,
Is either plus or minus flair
And those who really hope to snare
Attention surely do prepare.
The ones more shy we pass right by;
On neutral colors they rely
To keep the space they occupy
Beyond the public’s prying eye.
Still, I suspect I’m incorrect
Quite often, for a disconnect
May happen from what I expect
And what some clothing might reflect.
