Tie o’ the Day #2 is from Geoffrey Beene. I like its combination of lime hues and gray. The wild shirt is one of my Bugatchi favorites. It will continue to play a recurring role on this tblog, as will all my Bugatchi “blouses”. It is a great piece of clash, in and of itself. In fact, it can cause almost every tie in the free world to be an element of visual discord.😲
This Tie o’ the Day is pleased to present the following clever poem, about knowing what we are good at, and what we are not:
“What I Can Do”, by Mary Oliver
The television has two instruments that control it./ I get confused./ The washer asks me, do you want regular or delicate?/ Honestly, I just want clean./ Everything is like that./ I won’t even mention cell phones./
I can turn on the light of the lamp beside my chair/ where a book is waiting, but that’s about it./
Oh yes, and I can strike a match and make fire./
Ain’t that simple, smart, and true?!
