All set to jet-set in my no-flak jacket (HP remix)

Jam-packed case for just-in-cases No way of knowing when you gotta jam Loafers with no-loafing laces No-track tracksuit for no traces Boxing boxers, bracing braces Wool-coated trench coat for time on-the-lamb Racewear dress for dressy races Full-face mask to hide full faces High-pace sneakers, sneaky paces Bent scrambling helmet if hellbent to scram Sleeveless tanks for arm-y bases High-jump jumpers for high places No-halt halter, hasty chases Hoodwinker hoodie obscures who I am Jam-packed case for just-in-cases No way of knowing when you gotta jam

Originally written as a triolet (below). Thanks to feedback from lovely poets on this site, especially vienna bombadieri. I've updated the poem to include more items in my case. This has changed the form. Further thoughts most welcome!

Jam-packed case for just-in-cases
         No way to know when you gotta jam
Loafers with no-loafing laces
Jam-packed case for just-in-cases
No-track tracksuit for no traces
         Wool-coated coat for time on-the-lamb
Jam-packed case for just-in-cases
         No way to know when you gotta jam
