More shiny shirts please
The shimmer is good against skin
The war nearly over
This one
A doosey
Who among you will stay flat
I ask as a man of honor
Requesting you to appear handsome
With a speck of scummy
And a touch of insolence
Boys may be boys
But boring does not have to make a mark
Lighten the palate with cream
Or perhaps alter the tone with purple
A nice rich plum
A festive mustard is always nice as well
On the battlefield
They are adding battalions
Adding buttons to jackets
And buttons to guns
It's buttons, buttons, buttons this season
Sport a few in favor of the troops
Show your support and hometown colors
Nothing beats a crimson red
Except perhaps a dead man's black
Which is really just a muddy combination
Grey and pink with hints of deep blue
It all becomes a nighttime desert storm
A sandy flash in the pan
With no oasis
There is always room for opportunity
War profiteers are all the rage nowadays
Always have been really
Only now they have an official title
Perhaps a backslash is in order
Importer/Exporter/War Profiteer
Even more preferred is the revival of the period as a separator
Importer. Exporter. War Profiteer
Looking so old fashioned and right
As with any invading bunch
A few things are bound to go to fuck
Like a stupid primary rainbow
Lost on its own
Without any brown or gold to balance
A true pastel rainbow
Fashioned in the sky
Is hard to put to fabric
The madame will continue to try
And so shall it be televised
In technicolor
Which is a luminous spectrum
And should not be considered wearable
But can always elude to
Something that can be had
And cheaply
