You might think you need a tailor But here's the only one you've got: A poor choice of cloth Married to a poorer thread Spawning knock-offs Over budget shops. So you may as well invest, For it matters not a jot What you think you choose to wear, It never really lasts. A tear here, a cut there; With cheap cloth, It does not take much To turn your life ragged.

Deprivation
You might think you need a tailor But here's the only one you've got: A poor choice of cloth Married to a poorer thread Spawning knock-offs Over budget shops. So you may as well invest, For it matters not a jot What you think you choose to wear, It never really lasts. A tear here, a cut there; With cheap cloth, It does not take much To turn your life ragged.
An allegorical poem over the attitude and life choices of people caught in deprived areas with little hope of leaving.
