Jimmy the Suit

He wore his big gaudy oversize rolex
Chewing on some tex-mex with his ex
Forever flipping through his rolodex
On the phone with gents and rednecks
He’d invite his clientele to a fashion vortex
On the main floor of his triplex
Where he sold suits in the annex
And quality unisex turtlenecks
In exchange for cash and cheques
When he’d run out he’d offer rainchecks
Or start showing off some fancy crewnecks
Everything to get noticed at discotheques

More 'ex' rhymes than I knew "ex"isted. Great theme, too and a lot of fun. No wasted lines to just add another rhymes, very cohesive. Enjoyed this a lot, Line!

Ha, ha. Can't wait to meet this Jimmy fellow. Ha, ha, ha. … You have certainly created a fitting to sequel to "The Ugly American" of the 1950's. Nicely done, Line. :) gw
