So this old guy
(couple years older than me
my wife sez to say)
walks in to play bridge
wearing blue jeans
a nice vertical stripes
on his matching shirt
and wide braces
with tool designs
and he does all right.
Couple times I sez:
I like your outfit;
you really match.
And his wife
laughs and sez:
I knew people
would comment
on those braces.
So one the way out
I sees him standing
by the main door
in his matching outfit
waiting for his wife
and he’s holding her purse.
It’s big and it’s white.
I sez:
how can you carry
a white purse
with that colour-
coordinated outfit
and dandy suspenders?
And he grins sez,
she’s gone back
fer her umbrella.
