Six bags for Good Will

This black sweater fit just fine in the store
when I tried it on in summer
won't slide over winter sleeves

This blue top looks just fine from the front
but it slips down in the back
and the collar's choking me

    Time to say good-bye--
    Pass them on! Pass them on!
    Clear this closet sty--
    Get them gone! Get them gone!

These black boots--so cool and full of style
but they really are too narrow
and they nearly crippled me

This tank top, well the color is just perfect
but it always was too short
made for someone half my height

    They're never going to fit--
    Let them go! Let them go!
    To reality submit--
    Time to throw! Time to throw!

This red shirt lists all the players on the team
and the games we won and lost
but I look terrible in tees

This plaid blouse fits so well and comfortably
looks like hell looks like hell
looks like...what was I thinking?

    Stuff it in a bag--
    Don't be sad! Don't be sad!
    This one still has a tag!
    Still looks bad! Still looks bad!

  1. Wow, this poem is great! Totally what I need to do... Most of my wardrobe is in a state of being wearable, but just not quite right for various reasons. Ha! Keep it up!
