Dress Up or 'Fess Up – Some Lines to Yield a Youth Concealed

Sometimes I feel, or I suppose,

A little girl in grown-up clothes.

Not yet senescent, but of age,

I’ve stayed my soul at fresher stage.

If tailored, tasteful togs I wear,

I almost feel put-on for flair.

I’m happier in sneaks and jeans,

Such as I sported in my teens.

My kids may groan. Their cohorts jeer,

But I refuse to overhear.

I’ll never be the worse for wear,

If I can dress without a care.
