Clothes Shopping

by Rick Williams


I sometimes think if I were gay
I'd have more flair for fashion.
The choices when I dress each day
I'd make with much more passion.

My clothes are vague and ordinary
and don't vary by too much;
I wonder which blue jeans to wear
and which t-shirt and such.

I've never really had much sense
of what or why to buy
and if I do get to a store
my shopping goes awry.

I don't know why I struggle so
when I make it to the stores
I seem to get too overwhelmed
with all those shirts and drawers.

Maybe the prices that I see
is the problem when I shop.
I see the dollars adding up,
get frustrated, and then stop.

I'm not asking for too much;
just desire and some style.
The attitude and knowledge
to go shopping with a smile.
