That is the ugliest sweater I have ever seen
and you have to choose that for yourself!
but.. but you can well imagine
there was a whole range on the shelf
surely there's something more forgiving
the colour glaringly stands out
but. it is bright and breezy good for a fling
especially on boys' night out but is it too loud?
yes, I must say so, your loving wife here knows best
perhaps we can put it to test
if you must say so, let's ask Anne
our daughter will surely give a fair comment
yes, mindful though Anne always imagine her father's will
so you may not get the real feel

“That is the ugliest sweater I have ever seen"
Christmas sweaters bring a smile. I have gotten through my whole life never wearing one. Amazing, as my mom used to call me the Ho Ho Kid, I loved Christmas so much.
ReplyDeleteA fun read, Hank. I hope it wasn't really you though, that you wrote about.
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS HANK, to you and YOURS !!!
In honor of you and your poem, I am pulling my ugly Christmas sweater out of the closet and wearing it this evening!
ReplyDeletehaha - We had an ugly Christmas sweater day at work.
ReplyDeleteIf it's that ugly, I hope at least it is comfortable! :) Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteI miss the opportunity of wearing an ugly Christmas sweater.. with our 100F temperatures down in Africa.
ReplyDeleteThis was so fun to read.
ReplyDeleteLove this poem, a sonnet no less! This is a real thing, a real conundrum, and honestly if I were Anne I would be encouraging defiance of the ugly sweater rule. I hate that trend! Hate it. Ugly and awful! But your poem is wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteThe wife would say, don't you dare...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun poem, Hank!
ReplyDeleteIf it is a once a year sweater let him indulge himself a little, so long he doesn't wear it for the rest of the year!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I've seen some doozies of sweaters. I think my son wants to add an ugly Hanukkah sweater to his collection eventually.
ReplyDeleteOn Friday it was ugly Christmas sweater day... I saw a few, and wore one quite ugly... all other days of the year you would never dare.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some not so good looking Christmas sweaters whilst shopping. Loved the post Hank.
