Oxford Blue

I had this great big thing
With this little small town flirt,
But now she's gone away
Still wearing my Oxford Blue shirt.
I bet it's not tucked in,
It's flapping around her thighs;
Top two buttons strategically undone,
A treat for some new boys eyes.
I'm not saying that I'm jealous,
I'm not saying that I'm hurt,
I never really cared for her,

But I loved that Oxford Blue shirt.

I've gone way back into the archive for today's Pick. This is probably the most read poem at ABCtales evenings over the years - and everyone seems to love it. I can see why!

Short, expressive with a twist and totally relatable... certainly deserves the golden cherries.
