Tim Gunn

If you’ve watched Project Runway
Then you know its starring role
Isn’t model or designer
But Tim Gunn, its heart and soul.

His is mentor and advisor
And the one who keeps the peace.
He’s the shoulder folks can cry on
When some tears need a release.

With his pocket squares and pin stripes,
In each jazzy suit and shirt,
He’s both classy and flamboyant,
Like some elegant dessert.

On the stage to answer questions
He was witty, wise and charming
And his penchant for the truth
Struck me as utterly disarming.

All the audience delighted
In this star of Project Runway.
I felt privileged to listen
To the stories told Tim Gunn way!
