SHOPPING YOUNG
The shoe-shop experience
Calling all lads
In your prime of youth
Just ignore me
If the criteria is twenties thirties
I’ve nothing to say – you might say
But cast your mind back
To the – ‘I too’ time
When I was looking for fashion
Mind you…well never mind…
But here’s the thing – you get your kicks
On shop excursions into the unknown
Eyes light on new stock
Time flies by – as you are self-absorbed
And absorbed with what’s before your eyes
You ponder and try-on and waltz around
You put on / take off and generally spy upon
All delights of shape and pattern
Of feel and length and size
Changing the light – seen-in –
And looking sideways and leaning-in
You perform some fun-caper
While your friends banter back
You want your wage packet to stretch
a week – non-stop spending spree
No thought for frugality – just the need to get
Who – you are trying to impress
Starts with you – before others
Part of being young and handsome?
Or not so handsome needing the help of clothes
Anyway either way – it’s a pastime of yours
Spending on-line or off
You still prefer that wander and dander
In-and-out of stores
On your day-off
Coffee offered in some
You have bought –
Orange, green or gold
You fit the mould
Of youth looking for love
