True Love

It goes around the neck.
Crisp, fine and elegant.
Looks good with a vest,
Suit coat and pants too.

Made of Italian silk are my favorite ones,
Greens, blues, reds and pinks.
Power stripes and checkered alike,
Paisley still works too.
It must be made well,
Hand stitched is always good.

Half Windsor and full Windsor are the good knots.
Matched with an oxford shirt with just the right amount of starch,
Not forgetting the spread collar and French cuffs
And any European suit will do:
Perfection.

For work and Masse,
A date with my wife or an interview,
Special occasions and funerals.
To eat and to dance,
The ballet, the symphony, the opera.

It goes around the neck.
Crisp, fine and elegant.
Looks good with a vest
And even looks good in the nude.
