The instructions he gave
to the tailor 
were specific
He chewed gum 
and his face was sunburnt
he used these things 
as an excuse
when she complained
she had not been introduced
But despite his pain
and his garbled language
he ordered expensive material
for her
for which she could find no use
 
oh my.
