It Takes a Real Man To Wear Pink
IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO WEAR PINK
I went to Belk -- they had a sale
It seems they always do
They had men's shirts -- buy one
Then for half price, another two
I bought a button-down oxford
A pretty solid blue
Then I had to make a decision
On the color for the other two
Should I get a plaid
And perhaps a stripe
Maybe choose another solid
Or perhaps get one of white
So I began to stop and think
Back to my teenage days
Of the combination of grey and pink
That really was the craze
But now that I am seventy
What will people say
When I show up in a shirt of pink
And a tie of pink and grey
Then the thought occurred to me
Why worry what others think
Be bold, stand tall, smile and say
It takes a real man to wear pink
