Beige fades to grey

on all the curves

and nooks it flaunts

and back to beige.

Built from funds raised

in a half-day,

plunged for with haste

from many a

back-patch on jeans,

grey-dimmed blue, wet

on their frayed hems.

Joe Bloggs. Not quite

John Doe, but soon

they should earn it.

Though in light of

tightness from the

well-endowed,

it still stands tall

and strong, for now.
