Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

This sweater resembles the sweater coat I wrote about. I just love it but it's so darn old now! Too bad my body does not resemble the one of this SKINNY model!!

My Old Grey Sweater Coat

In many lovely colors

my sweater coat was sold.

Old, grey, and worn, it's my comfort!

I wish I'd bought others

in many lovely colors!

Edlynn Nau August 16, 2015 at 9:27 PM Is there a women out there that doesn't get this one? Whatever is our favorite, they get rid of it, unless... It is very expensive? If we buy 8 of the thing, it itches or something. We cannot win! I liked this and the verse was fun, light hearted, nostalgic, and just a delight! Thanks!

Demetrios Trifiatis August 6, 2015 at 4:53 AM First of all, I would never like a woman that skinny! Second, although the sweater coat is old, the Refrain is new and vibrant! Good luck my dear Andrea!
