"Chickens will do." And a pause
"For another yard of georgette linens too."
And every capped reasons opened at last,
as a stair, for a stare, to ask about the rear,
"What about the full cotton fabrics or Chinese poplin?"
And impeccable time smiled on me, " Rather, this should be bobbling, that is inevitable."
"Ed good, this is still an issue room for mending.
Are you in?"
"Precisely! Exactly for what?" I heard.
"Is it the hall room? Or the ballroom?" I asked.
"It seemed a courtroom though." I heard my question answered, seemingly, in a bit startled voice.
"Nope. It is not a room, It is a table salt, tied to a prayer, that gifts the container, the neon, and the utility, and God willing, the next day we are expected to find the room." After a while, the assurance delivered.
"Though shawl thee!" I intervened.
"let's go home! Shall we?"

From a dark pumpkin snarled out a goblin,
Hobbling, wobbling, said he flew from Dublin
And thundered me to gobble
A blended red scotch double
And demanded a bottle, wrapped in poplin.

Time has left me tired and crinkled
I’ve gotten shorter by just a spurt.
I’m dated, tan, worn, and wrinkled
Like a military issue poplin shirt;

Keep the linens, the wool blends, and tweeds,
no need for silk or pressed poplin shirts.
Give me coolmax or one hundred per cent cotton
Suit me up in a Speedo for laps in the pool.
Dress me in a matched sports bra and short ensemble for the temperate
weather
Or a gore-tex running suit with a pair of fleece mittens for cold weather running.
I much prefer my vibrant sporting ensembles
Outfit me for swimming or running or biking the trails,
This bright patterned, stretchy happiness costumes my personality better than
grays, browns and blues.
