Isle Style
Our wardrobes have
Somewhat decayed.
Your pants and shirts
Are rather frayed.
My skirts and tops
Look retrograde.
Your sweaters all
Resemble suede.
My only coat
Is long past trade.
Your belts and ties
Appear ill-made.
My handbag wins
No accolade.
Most shoes and hats
Could use first aid.
At least our love
Has yet to fade.
