Pick your stripes carefully

Beware what you choose
When you want to wear stripes
They might not be kind

Might make you look wide
Or be expertly slimming
You might look funny

Make sure you're happy
Like a zebra on the plain
Pick stripes not shame

Before you decide
Turn around, side to side
Pick them carefully

As for the zebra
They carry all of their stripes
Elegantly

  1. I thought of that, too... and yet I still don't like to wear stripes... even if they're vertical.

  3. So true, I think. Not all stripes work for everyone. But everyone can find appropriate stripes.

  6. If you're built as well as the illustration, you can wear your stripes any which way! For me, not so much!
