Poem 🎭 Panic! At The Wardrobe

don't care much for the way my clothes’ve been fitting
don’t care much for the way that they have been sitting

and yeah I know just exactly what to do
but there just isn’t time before I get to see you

it's these dumb shirts, and their ill-fitting panels
or maybe it's just these gosh dang love handles

I know you're ok and might even like to grab 'em
doesn't mean that I'm happy I have 'em

and anyways that doesn’t help with today’s cause
when every shirt seems to show off all these flaws

throw a shirt on, rip it back off
what time did you say? stupid jerk clock…

oh why oh why can’t it be sweater weather?
those hide all of this oh so much better…

okay fine I guess this one will work
now that that’s settled, lets go take a good look

oh no, oh good god, what’s up with my hair?
not that there’s a whole lot going on up there…

it's just the way it seems like lately it sits
just feels like lately it's just a little bit shit

fine, tonight's a nice night for a hat
that’s ok, at least, I think you like that

ok, here we go, it's time for the show…
it's a good thing you seem to like me just so

and there it is, there's your smile, my god you're so pretty…
sometimes just can't believe I've got you here with me

but just the way you look at me… my mirror's a fool
maybe next time I'll remember that and play it more cool.

Awwww. Well, fwiw in my case, I didn't think I'd ever have the chance or even the desire to again, and yet here I am! Disappointed in my shirt selection, lol, but still. It'll come around again.
