Ties
by Everett (dale) Pogue
copyright 10-10-2007


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
(with due respect to Joyce Kilmer)

I think that I shall never buy
another print or paisley tie.
A tie which hangs beneath my nose,
sporting a thorn and blooming rose,
a tie that chokes my throat all day
Affecting things I eat or say.

A tie that may in winter wear
some woodland duck or grizzly bear.
Upon whose bosom gravy clings
and coffee leaves it's tell-tale rings.
Poems are made by fools like I,
but greater fools still sport a tie!.

The only time you will ever find me in a tie is at a wedding or a funeral. I probably would not choose to wear a tie at my own funeral LOL.

However, the ladies do like ties, and the reason is obvious, they don't have to wear them. I say that "tongue in cheek", as I know that is how you wrote this all too fine, humorous, and rhyming poem.
Keep up the good work -but you're making me jealous.

I find this....kind of insulting, for i dont think myself a fool for writign poetry...
And ties look nice, and if theyre so uncomfortable then dont wear them, but some still choose to because they wish to look nice and it shows that thyll look nice even if it is a bit uncomfortable...
However my personal opinion doesnt get in the way of judgement. It was a good poem, however i didnt realyl liek the subject matter much
Your description was nice, and the rhyming added to its quality.

I always thought a holiday tie with a Christmas or Halloween theme was kind of cool, just on the holiday, though. So unless you wear that tie every year for the appropriate holiday, for years on end, you will never get your money's worth out of said tie. Any other tie themes, like the bear or duck idea, I can't grasp.

My husband wears ties 5 days a week, and looks wonderful in the ties he wears. He has a talent for matching ties to shirts and/or suits. Not everyone can, though.

This is really a very cute poem. It makes me think that you received many more ties than you ever wore, though! LOL
