If clear eyed, wide awake people
Put on a fully accessorized
Costume to begin each morning,
What should be said to a compliment,
Even though unsolicited, other than
The fact that they put on display
A fully assembled ensemble.
Perhaps they would enjoy
A certain, appreciative delivery,
A small, thoughtful smile
Or, given the state of the world,
We should just be mature,
Walk demurely through the day,
Very, very quietly.
