Ill fitting shirt, belt slipping from the waist Odd socks, and one is inside out This is what comes of getting drressed in haste, Iâm sure that passers-by will want to shout: "Avoid that man! He dresses like a tramp, The buttons on his shirt are all done wrong!" Then I will reply to them, beneath a lamp Throwing its light on what I have got on: "I am annoyed the writers of the press Pollute their pages with dull fashion dross, I dress just how I like, and wish to stress I follow no-one else and have no boss. You waste your time to tell me what to do - I like my trousers to be stained with glue"

Formatted correctly and done with a dash of modern - i liked it - 8

I always respect your opinions Nicholas.

Also being half welsh (Pontyclon) I urge all Finnish people on poemranker to politely leave this site.

This is actually surprisingly good for a poem not written by me. The last verse gets a bit poncey, but the last line makes up for it.

good this,
the last verse does get a little rantish, I do like the last line, kind of forelorn I think.
