Notes About The Poem

Sarto Sorridente - Smiling Tailor

"Brioni ... or Armani?" quizzed the fitter,
          For bolts and hems and lines were all his passion,
               And though Italian food oft' left him bitter,
     Their suits and leather set the height of fashion.

"Perhaps this Cucinelli suits you better?"
          He eyed the gent and winking, pulled his measure,
               "Ah, yes" said he, "it fits you to the letter!"
     "And just your color, too - a woven treasure!"

When he was done, the fitter smiled in swagger,
          The goodwill flowing through his shop like honey,
               For as the patron's suit was priced to stagger,
     Departing soon - his goodwill AND ... his money.
