CLOTHES MAKETH THE MAN
In strides the mighty hero Hercules
His lion skin coat is famed throughout all lands
For like the snakes he fashioned into sleeves
He strangled the beast he wears with his bare hands.
The skins of buffalo, and deer, and bear
That gave their lives that humankind may live
The tribes of north America would wear
Acknowledging their sacrifice, and hoping they forgive.
Enter now a priest of Dionysus
A leopard skin all draped across his back
The creature's former strength daily arises
And grants the priest the power he may lack.
In this spirit I shall bring Goodwill to readers great and small
For Goodwill's where my garments come from, shoes and socks and all
