Ode To Plain Plaid Shirts



Buttons, patterns, lines and checks.
Flannel arms and collared necks.
Perfect fit and far from hurt.
Ode to thee, ye plain plaid shirt.

Uniform of farmer, band.
Cover of the everyman.
Punk rock, Hipster, guys named Bert.
Ode to thee, ye plain plaid shirt.

Pastor's ease t'ward culture's style.
Youthful still and all the while.
Tucked in, loose, yours to insert.
Ode to thee, ye plain plaid shirt.

Red and black and blue and grey
What I wear most every day.
Prone to write so here I blurt.
Ode to thee, ye plain plaid shirt.
