Assortments of Garments

Whenever we walk up and down the street,
we see an assortment of outfits at our feet
and an array of varieties of fancy, beaded shirts
or striped jeans and designed skirts
A few apparel are joined to one another by the hem
others are encrusted with iridescent gems
Some with tiny mirrors are entirely concealed
cries of admiration, they can effortlessly yield
Most have many an elaborate stitch
and in intricacy appear to be exceedingly rich
While many dresses seem to be made of nothing but dots
quite a lot of garments have anything but spots
We can buy boots of rubber, plastic or leather
or just shoes that are suited to any extreme weather
We witness frills and folds on frock after frock
and frills and folds on sock after sock
On one floor, we can purchase exotic fur gloves
and smooth scarves and earmuffs on the storey above
We sometimes wear slacks with attached sequins that shine
creating a gorgeous but rather cheesy design
It's impressive how tailors can so ably rearrange cloth
in all shades of colors- bright, sea, dull or goth
and the temperature can suddenly seem so much better
when we wear a dark cardigan or a hand knitted sweater
But at times, when clothes look too delicate or nice,
I think staying away from them will definitely suffice
For I am certain that I am capable, or to rephrase will
find something in proximity (on my clothes) to spill
I don't mean to end this on a note of satire
but I think it best to keep distance from this sort of fancy attire
