Hand Me Polyester Please

Satin makes people look corpulent and shiny.
Silk is my material of choice.
Except it has to be dry-cleaned.
And it is never the same after a grease spot.
Hand me that polyester pantsuit please.
And a bib.

LOL I like being practical too... but silk is awfully nice, especially raw silk.

It is nice until you put grease on it.
