The man with needles
had them all in stitches.
His specialty was sewing
funny britches.
Sometimes you’d find
sewn on the cuff
a collar button or ear muff.
Some pants might sport
inverted pockets,
or belt loops
that looked like rockets.
One might find louvres
in the knees,
the better to enjoy the breeze.
A tailor this bizarre,
some said, might have
a loose thread in his head.
