Khaki Has Never Other Fabrics Liked

Khaki has never other fabrics liked: It has even their wearer’s bodies disliked, Their forgivable flaws, their blunders hyped And their names and their nicknames mistyped! Sometimes you hear, “Like onions slice them!” And begun a solving of what wasn’t a problem; Bound to uncannily unfold What Plain Malice does hold … By then, it would be fanciful To ask your questions – A roomful: ‘What and what next shall happen?’ And whether or not blades shall sharpen … It shall have been a busying with fiction By the time we triggers eschew from ruction Khaki has seldom The Plain clothes liked And has, indeed, other fabrics spiked; Often through insistence on Inaction And treatment of either as a faction.
