“The hem of this dress
Needs to be addressed!”
Said the Master tailor;
The material scintillating
Under his looking glass.
“This is silk!”
Protested the assistant tailor!
“Silk ripples and flows!
Turns into pretty ribbons and bows!”
“The hem of this dress
Needs to be addressed!”
The Master took the hue
Of scarlet material
Under his expert fingers!
“This is Velvet!”
Protested the Assistant Tailor.
“In deepest scarlet!”
“Velvet luxuriates
The lady wearer!
Adds a mystic and grandeur!
No need for stifling structure!”
“You do what I say
Said the Grandmaster!
“For I am the owner of the grandeur!
My words are the law!
The law of fashion
Of today
Says the hems of the dresses
Need to be addressed!”
“Fashion is what we say
It is!
We are the fashion of
The masses!
For I am the youth
My umbilical cord is tied
With the Zeitgeist!
And I say the hem
Of these dresses
Should have lives
Of their own!”
The youth said.
The grandmaster was speechless
For the first time in his career.
