I got up one morning and started to dress.
Decided I'd wear my Sunday best.
Went to the closet, what did I see?
My polka dot dress glaring at me.
Okay, Okay, now you've been seen.
I know you're red, your dots are green.
Not close to Christmas, but that's okay.
I'll look really spiffy anyway.
Looked for my slip, one I found was blue.
Well, it looks like I'll have to wear you.
I put it on, but it hung too low,
No time to change, I have to go.
Now for a sweater, it really is cool.
None but a yellow, I'll look like a fool.
I have to wear that hat with the orange feather,
Only one I have for this kind of weather.
Forgot my shoes, wear these, I think,
No one will notice they are bright pink.
Where's my glasses, the sun is so bright,
Here's my purple ones, they're real light.
Guess I'm ready, I'll head out the door,
I sure feel pretty, that's for sure.
Too bad I can't ride with the top down.
I'd make an impression on this old town.
Opened my door, what did I see?
There was my beau, staring at me.
He looked kind of funny, grabbed his chest,
I must've surprised him in my Sunday best.

Wow. I loved this so much!! XD

Very Nice And Bright.
It makes a refreshing change reading a bright poem like this. When I read I click on Random, and most of the time, it's teenage stuff saying things like "I put the razor blade against my skin and cut myself and I want to die". But this is very nice.
Like you, I too am a widow, and to see you write pleasant stuff like this is very nice indeed. I love the words, I love the optimism, and I love the sunshines This definately deserves 3 claps. If you could give four claps, I would.

UGH i ALWAYS FORGET TOO APPLAUD

I love the personality. It reminds of of when I was little and tried getting dressed myself, In a polka dot dress, green shorts, orange pants and a million purple beaded necklaces. But the important thing is to not care what others think, that's waht makes everyone so unique!
-
Most lovely way to say how important is properly dressing .Surely it pays yo many ways.
Very rhyming poetry indeed.
-
ha i like this one good job
-
This is a cute humorous poem of how to dress. Dressing is like writing poetry. What does it matter what others think? You are you! You write or dress only for you. That's what makes us unique..We need just be ourselves without letting others influence us....or wonder what they think.

What a hoot!
Sounds like my dad dressing himself. He's color blind, real color blind! If it fit, it was good to wear! Thank goodness for work uniforms. Thanks for the memories!
This was great.
-
I am trying to visualize you as you dress with all those clashing colours and petticoat trailing below the dress. Sounds like a walking rainbow nothing wrong with that is there?
-
ROFL Now that is some imagery I'd rather not had thank you. what a get-up, but shoot you would be noticed that's for sure. Hope you didn't have to sing a solo.
