habiliments

 

My dear madam

your curiosity beguiles me your

nosiness tantalizes and charms me with

such adroitness and acumen that no choice

exists but to oblige you and find a wife from

among those who think I dress like a puppy because 

I take the first pair of trousers off 

the top of the pile of clothes accumulating in my 

boudoir since as my favorites they land in that 

order and the pile of course the pile for how 

senseless to put away garb deemed 

wearable again and how simple to 

grab my daily habiliments and

sport a tattered tee covered by a frumpy

jacket but this wife of which you speak says

you clean up well and I nod I take note and leave
