Suspenders
Wearing wide suspenders,
With a walker as an aid,
He slowly ambled down the street,
Protected by the shade.
I noticed those suspenders,
Once bright yellow but still cool,
For they looked just like a ruler
You would use in math at school.
As I passed, I turned to compliment
His snazzy sense of style
And from him and his companion,
That elicited a smile.
This is why I love the city,
Since you always can expect
To encounter someone new
With some small reason to connect.
