A satirical poem about the fashion world
Why imitate…
The Parisian primate?
Sport that old fedora…
Wear you mother’s mumu.
Sew your pillowcase…
Into a skirt.
That Curtain’ll make
A great gown!

Manolo Blahnik
Jimmy Choo
Herve Leroux
To name a few.
But labels are for pickle jars…
Are Pointy shoes still in?
No… Enormous Leather totes
And leggings are all the rage.

You silly, silly monkeys…
Always looking to upstage.
Fashionistas in search of faux pas
I’m feeling a bit ennui…
This week it’s angora…
Next week it’s pashmina
Designers on parade
In their political arena.

So wear your jeans…
Until they’re torn
and save yourself some cash
If it’s really what you like…
Why pay to look like trash?
As long as you’ve got
A decent pair of shoes
Then cheers to You.
