Nice Clothes
I was never a traditional “pretty girl”
I was not ultra-feminine
Though when younger
And thinner
I turned many a lady’s -
And gentleman’s - head
Clothes fit me quite nicely
I was not a fashion plate by any means
Still, I cut a good figure
As they used to say
Now I have a low paying job
Barely enough
To keep the proverbial
Wolf from my door
I cannot buy nice clothes
In fact, I seldom buy any clothes
The young, thin women
Are complimented
On their appearance
Oh for the days of youth
And thinness
And head turning
And when I had money
For nice clothes
