Poem
Chandrakant Shah
SUCH JEANS
Can someone get me genesThat never need laundering?
With stitches of joy, the colour – a cool shade
Jeans that tear with us and also fade
Guide me, o lord, to a new style of being
Can someone get me genes
That never need laundering?
May they look old when they are brand new
And turn new when they grow old
Tell me, o lord, from where I can order them?
Can someone get me genes
That never need laundering?
