Poem (audio)
Great metaphor!
You’ve gotta love an old pair of reliable jeans too :)
"She’s held up well over the years—
though she keeps spreading herself,
maybe too thin
Her fabric, though, remains durable"
This verse reminded me of Johnny Cash's tone poem "Ragged Old Flag".
Thanks... comment well appreciated as always, especially here to the ol' poetic "man in black" :-)
Excellent wrap-up of the song here:
