Getting Dressed Up for Work
I stare at the closet,
'Another day!' - let out a dramatic sigh.
Onerously, I open its left panel
and then right.
'This is all I've got...?!',
I dolefully commiserate.
Carefully, I select a least wrinkled shirt,
'Unironed!', I gasp.
No wife to blame either;
trouser's rumpled as well.
'Tie, kerchief, wallet,
belt, cufflinks, shoes, socks...
...wherever thou art,
it's time to start', I plead.
The last thing I do
is perfume myself.
Tiny globules of fragrance
halo me, but fail to defeat
malodorous me.
Everything's done.
I steal a quick glance at the mirror.
It doesn't lie, they say. And it didn't!
With hair unkempt
I still look handsome.

Neat and leaves a smile with that last line.
