Today I dressed myself in a suit and tie,
Black leather shoes, and a long black
Pea coat. With no particular place to go,
I walked out my front door, felt the cold,
And decided to stop in a cafe
For some hot chocolate. Waiting in line,
The blonde with the red fur hat
In front of me glanced over her shoulder
And seemed pleased by what she saw.
The eyes of the red headed barista
Lit up when she saw me
And the young man behind the register
Seemed taken aback by my appearance.
I ordered my hot chocolate, and handed him
My card. He swiped it once, then again,
And then a third time.
"Sorry," he said, "it seems your account is overdrawn."
It's not the clothes, I thought, but money
Makes the man.
