Best Tailor Poems

There was once a village tailor named Clyde

   Who was known for his misfits though he tried.

      He altered trousers for Mort.
 
         Mort said, "The inseam's too short!"

A young lady from Venezuala
Considered by many a bit of a failure,
Opened a cafe selling pabell'on criolla,
Hugely successful she made much payola,
Sucking on a cigar she's now dressed by a tailor....

The one who stitches clothes 
Taking right measurements, 
Tirelessly working with 
Thread, needle and scissors 
To make you that fine dress,
Trimming it into shape,
Talented outfitter.

You were a bright spark
That lit in the darkness
You touched so many hearts
With your gentle kindness

A name so important it shan’t be forgotten
Poetry skills that that no other possesses
Popularity and fame long gotten
An imprint of honor that truly impresses

A lovable trait made for you only
Known...

Society is a wonderful tailor,
It stitches my free wings with strings of thoughtless notions,
It stitches my parents' broad minds close with a prejudiced needle,
And makes a wonderful dress covered with gems of obnoxious superstitions.

Talk of True Valor
And it is ‘Sailor’,
Not ‘Confined Tailor’;
Quite Mobile Sailor,
Not Static Tailor
Facing Cloth and Color; 
In Shops of Pallor 
Pin Pricks of Dolour…

And tailors tell lies,
Sailor: where storm lies! 

Tailors work and chant,
Sailors for merchant.
They don’t flee from Rum; 
Rum helps them to hum...

Tailor Failure


The less that I know, the better things seam
Now nothing will fit together
This feels like a nightmare, but it isn’t a dream
And I’ll prove it when I won’t wake up


Good morning, failure…...

I watched the shiny crow pluck woolly tufts of winter’s suit from deer neck at his springtime molt. 
All gathered in his clamping beak he winged towards an unseen nest 
while deer was grateful for this cheek to pull where antler cannot reach, 
and change...

Like a sculptor I searched for the perfect stone
I tried to make it better and with my skills hone
But you cannot change it no matter how you shape or scuff
I lost all of them and found you a diamond in the rough

Inner perfection was already...

"Brioni ... or Armani?" quizzed the fitter,

The Taylor’s an ordinary man
He spends his time in his workshop
Or on the cobblestone streets, searching
For lengths of exotic fabrics and shimmering threads
His hands are covered in bruises
Made from the pricks of needles over and over

The Taylor’s an ordinary man
He lives a lonely life, sewing...

Tailors’ quaint imagination 
For customers adoration:
Only-God-knows inspiration 
He knows time of expiration: 
The crisscrossed and zigzagged entire, 
As they are what eyes require,
Bejeweled Hat like spire 
Who in Man ideas inspire?

One long look at Men’s Attire 
You know it would them not tire;
Man would not...
