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.
