MY CLOTHES FRIENDS

For Jean

My clothes friends and I

Went everywhere together ...

Hail or thunder, rain or shine,

Regardless of the weather.

Opera, theatre, concerts, film ...

Book Group, French Society ...

Walking, cruising, travelling ...

Socialising – lunch and tea.

But now my former clothes friends ...

Just hang around, unbefriended ...

It’s sad, but we all realise

Our closeness is now ended.

I have now just a few clothes friends ...

For whom I’ve nothing but praise ...

Always there, gentle and kind,

My new clothes friends – my PJs....
