What's wrong with wearing a polka dot shirt?

What's wrong with wearing a polka dot shirt?

A Poem by andrew mitchell

In an unexplainable
geek moment,
on a first date,
my cover was blown.

Maybe it was 
my beatlesque haircut,
or the green pants
with the zipper broken,
the matching yellow shirt
with orange polka dots,
plus red shoes
showing purple socks.

I don't know,
but she knew!

In a flash,
she got up,
pushed the chair in,
walked away,
and vanished.

She was in a hurry.

All that effort
I went to,
just wished I brought
my dentures.
Maybe it was
the conversation!

hahaha. i would have gotten up and run away as fast as i could. "beatlesque haircut." you forgot the pants being hiked up to armpits and the clothes having food stains. what was the conversation, "How do you like my outfit?" "Was it something I said?" or "Gee, i forgot my teeth". Lol. you are too much.

'As Shakespeare once so wryly observed 'the apparel oft proclaims the man.'

Methinks she should have stayed and taken a second look. :))

Dear Andrew... you must be very theatrical... at heart. Now that I am older, I wear little clip-on flowers in my hair... a style of my own, as other older women do not follow. Even in the Winter, I wear little flowers in my hair.
Even birds enjoy colored feathers all year long. I chirp (sing) like a bird.
"Birds of a feather flock together" may
be a perfect adage. truly, Pat
