Can I tell you something?
She was kind enough to ask
and then continued
I mean no insult
Upper class is what I am
So second-hand clothing
does not mean much to me
It doesn’t matter who gives it
or what it is or even if
it looks good on me or
only costs 99 cents
Please, take it yourself
because I can’t
I hope you understand
Yes, I do, I replied
It was the discovery
that was fun
I find something great
in a thrift shop and
I get an adrenaline rush
Can’t wait to make the purchase
After that it is
all downhill for me
The packing, shipping,
labeling and posting
A pain, maybe royal
So thanks for mentioning
your disapproval to me
I look for style, then
the label is important
The jean jacket with the
fringes was a Route 66
I thought of you right away
Now the happy thought has faded
Thanks again. Thank you very much
