Flitting hundred times
she sews home to perfection

Many ships for the sailor,
     Many garments for the tailor,
   Many lads for the teacher,
Many sheep for the shepherd.

   Many skills for the man,
So,many feathers for his cap....

Lady Onyx has curvy, black nails;
so resistance she quickly assails.
She needs no boot spurs;
for nails long like hers
serve as tailor made cat-o-ten tails.

There once was a tailor
I got him to stitch me a shirt
he humbly said, "It is thirty bucks"
I enquired, "Is it in dollar, rupee or in pound?"
Not sure where I am now
As I roved from so much...

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....

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…...

Middle America's Democrats are reeling in shock
At the party's Progressive Agenda, tailor-made to block
   The candidacy of anyone who can't check these boxes

only the 
lord knows
my situation
thus
he
is my 
personal tailor
only 
he can measure
and
address
the
holy spirit
received in my soul
and
what a pure craftsman is He
that is my personal tailor
rain or shine
with
creativity...

Tailoring path of grass
Jungle and meadow
What the boots hiked for
So many answers

From faith to maid
From stubborn to airborne
From nail to snail

I had gone
I had born

Tailor is not tailoring
Jungle is gone
The boots had won...

Thank you for your service and the shrapnel, too. I 'll send them to my cobbler to melt upon the heel of my shoe . Of course, our service is a silent love, I thought we all knew, when we took the Kings shilling,  we'd visit the Tailor too '

A sign read in a tailor shop in a Rhodes location
”In a big rush, we execute customers in strict rotation”
Best to wait for a less busy day
How about you, that's what I'd say
Strange behavior by people in some of these nations...

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.

bliss poised at the threshold zone
tailor made for us alone
moves within just as it likes
tease of delight that oft spikes

as of seeds virtue does reap
beyond bliss heart finds peace deep
which may be assigned no name
wherein soul becomes the flame...

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.

The curvy road led me to the curvaceous girl. 
Sitting on a bench I found her stitching thread by thread a garment. Its crystal clear I had landed myself a tailor-made chick. 
Her hips poured and filled the bench. I bet she was from space because her figure was out of this planet....

Private times be still in mind
Longing for the joy you bring
Be in tune to hearts desire
Rays toll tailor made
Drinking favorites saved
Heart to heart
Seconds untouched
Silent hills most treasured turf
Be the Valentine most thought of
Sending this out today 
Just to pave the way...

So Alluring,
      Bright and green,
Wavy dark and red petals,
       So  Triumphant
       Oh How lovely!
Eyes closed,deeply inhaling
     Hoping for that scent...
Oh no! It's the art of man
    A tailor made Rose.
 It can't delight my heart

I don't want to impose
But I have to disclose
Your emperor clothes

You're so dressed
So fresh
While the world laughs
At your nakedness

Where are your clothes 
That your tailor stole?

Lost pride and dignity
That you surrendered
So willfully

Pride is so silly
So silly
So silly...

seemed to 
have 
wanted a 
made to order
custom-made
tailor-made 
ideal person 
to be at beckon
call 
an individual 
who was 
expected to
always 
perfectly
faultlessly 
flawlessly 
give 
emotional 
feedback 
randomly 
at a drop of a hat
like some kind of 
a physic mind reader...

Liz Taylor 
 never married
  a sailor, retailer
   or a wholesaler
    or divorced a bailor
     or buried a tailor
      or used an inhaler
       or lived in a trailer
        or dated Norman Mailer
         or kissed a whale or
          even was jailed her
           whole life as a derailer...

The comfort level 
Feeds from a place unknown
Only by God
Can it be retrieved
Hanging in the wings
Waiting on the 
Reprieve
Needing no applause
Drenched in spiritual love
Move in the fullness 
Tailor made on high
Supper Time
Serving with only the best wine
Eternalness found
Youth with no end
Friend...

My verse is like
a bespoke set of clothes,
 fit the thing that counts

Each article worn,
 new memories born,
to tighten or let out

My head to my toes,
its covering goes,
whose message spoken clear

To tailor new moments,
each stitch a new thread
—bench made to endear

If some one trying to justify,
His decision to put another on the job,
Making weapons to wag war is correct,
His decision to put a tailor on the job,
Making his dress is not correct,
A decision to dwell,
In woods,dark and deep,
With tribes,
Wearing green leaves,
Fighting with animals,
Justifying correct!...

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!"

            My! My!  Mort, how you have grown!" Clyde replied!
