Why Do Widows Give Me Their Late Husbands’ Clothes?
When old men die their widows give me their clothes
(The old men’s clothes; not the widows’; let’s not get weird)
Nice pullover shirts, expensive blazers, everything goes
And ties to the 1970s geared
I am as Bob Newhart lost in an age
Of tattered tees and designer sneaks
Hardly the attire of a wise old sage
One of the last sartorial antiques
When old men die their widows give me their clothes
I look quite natty in them, I suppose
(The old men’s clothes, not the widows; let’s not get weird)
