We’ve both been very
Very busy lately––
You have been working too hard
And chasing apartments
I have been traveling my
Heart out.
No time for sleeping,
Dreaming, singing,
Writing poems
Shopping, ironing,
Laundering, or the
Other significant affairs
Of this life.
And so
I thought I might
Help you out
By finding you something
New to wear.
Some fancy thing
To wear on your holiday.
Something elegant
Yet a bit flamboyant
Tasteful
But not staid
Not too expensive
But with the highest alchemy.
So I wished and
Searched and sought and
Finally found
What I hope is right––
It's simple, petite
Has lots of class
And is just the thing
For you to wear at Harbin.
