Searching for a T shirt for a wedding

I’ve got the trousers – black and long and just size twelve

(the website said to get a size too small because they stretched on wearing)

and the jacket is a beauty – one I bought in New Orleans

(and doesn’t that sound good: “Oh! one I bought in New Orleans”)

It’s silk and black and silver, long-line and fits a treat.

I bought a long-sleeved silk-look grey T shirt last week

But that looked dreary (grey often does on me)

So I thought a vivid pink, or even emerald green ...

But nothing in the shops today

And I resisted buying “it’ll do” for once,

not entirely ‘cause I’m at long last learning,

but I know I’ve got my trusty sleeveless black.
