Captain John Cutter

A quite brave man

Has thrown his clothes

In the garbage can

When asked why he 

Would make such a switch

He replied that the collar

And seams all itched

Not to mention the cuffs

Which were inches too thick

Or his shiny black shoes

With soles that would stick

Or his woolen topcoat

Which failed to breathe

Or his silken green vest

Which restricted his sleeves

“No,” he chuckled,

As he tipped up his brim

And that was the last

That I saw of him
