He laughed at her
For her oft-changing fashion
That last year’s clothes
Were no good anymore
And thought it an example
Of how shallow she was
And always would be
As for her?
She believed in doing good
And always tried to live it
Appearance was just expression
And as she shed her old ways
She changed how she appeared
Meanwhile —
She noticed that he
Kept changing ethics –
His so-called core beliefs
Depending on intellectual fashions
You know, I think,
Perhaps —
Her type of fashion’s
Better after all
