Twas a merry time when Jenny Wren was young,
So neatly she danced and so sweetly she sung.
So goes an old Mother Goose rhyme. Cock Robin goes on to offer the fancy clothes and cherry pie and currant wine to win her heart.
This recalls a time when I was shopping with a young woman of my aquaintance. Attempting to impress her with my impeccable taste , I bought her a pair of capris (also known as clam digger slacks) in a bold red and black check pattern often seen on mens hunting attire ( It helped that they were half off ; Wonder why?). I suggested accessorizing with some black high top chuck taylor all star sneaks. We then went out to lunch. It twas a memorable day. Anyways.....
I'll take your offer kind, cherry pie is very good and so is currant wine,
But I will wear my plain brown gown and never dress too fine.
What's your point smoothstar? Nothing really, I guess; just if you are out shopping with your paramour, don't forget to break for lunch.
