Overalls Redux

In college I wore overalls And loved the way they felt When hanging loose or even better, Tightened with a belt. The Army/Navy store was where I bought them, very cheap. They lasted many years until They got too old to keep. But that has now been rectified For I have had the urge To buckle on some overalls; Today I made the splurge. Much pricier than they once were But denim nonetheless And in the mirror was a grin I couldn’t quite suppress. I left my twenties long ago And youthfulness I lack But in my brand-new overalls It feels like going back.
