it is bright and breezy good for a fling

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

  1. 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.

  7. Love 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 :)

  8. If 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!

  9. LOL, I've seen some doozies of sweaters. I think my son wants to add an ugly Hanukkah sweater to his collection eventually.
