BEASTLY TALES

SEERSUCKER

Seersucker, as everyone knows,
Is a fashion fabric that comes and goes,
A lightweight thin striped cotton cloth,
Which is resilient even against the moth.
It has a puckered surface to it,
The whole effect makes it a hit.
In my younger days I had a couple of suits,
In summer they were comfortable, yes real beauts,
Nowadays you don’t see it very much,
Fashion dictates a warmer clothes’ clutch.
Fickle fashion has a lot to answer,
That fickle fashion, that dancer prancer!

Edgar Ealesdorp asked for seersucker,
At a tailor’s in Spain. The owner’s mouth did pucker.
“It not easy for me, English, what seersucker?”
“But I know, if a sucker you do see,”
“You take advantage for a fee,”
“Yes a fee from cheating him”
“Do not look so proper and prim.”

Now that the “sucker” subject is raised,
We know that a person easily duped is so appraised.
Someone who might purchase a “fireplace’ fridge”,
Or even to purchase Brooklyn Bridge!
