What to Wear Where

--J. Patrick Lewis

When I was a boy

In Looziana,

We wore blue jeans

And a red bandanna.

 

My folks moved up

To the state of Maine,

We wore duck shoes

In slicker-suit rain.

 

My folks moved down

To the state of Texas,

We wore brand names

Like Lazy X’s.

 

Now that we’re living

It up in Vermont,

We wear pretty much

Whatever we want.
