Denim and Camouflage: A Cynically Comedic Love Story
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 13 years.
A tale as old as time itself and still interesting nonetheless
A pair that could be considered mismatched to naked eye
Still found a way to make things work against the cynics
Of course, had lots of fun proving them wrong in the process
A duet worth writing about and performing it onstage obviously
Forget about Stevie Nick and Don Henley's "Leather and Lace"
About a romance of differing and complex personalities
Built as a song about coming together no matter what
This story was somewhat similar, but a lot more entertaining
Our heroine preferred the look and feel of denim
Over wearing silk dresses and pleated skirts of any kind
Loved the material, but lacked the confidence to pull it off
Casual comfort with just a hint of mystery was look she liked
Some critics called it based on sheer laziness on her part
Not that she ever cared what was fashionable; or the critics
Didn't matter to her one bit when it came to be true to herself
Focused on getting through the day with a smile on her face
And well worn pair of Reeboks on her feet when it was time to go
Met the other half of this story with a smile and a joke on her lips
Made Mr. Swagger comfortable to let his guard dog take a hike
Wore his favorite pair of dark green camouflage shorts regularly
At least twice a week to the amusement of Ms. Casual's father
To the point where he wanted to see those shorts more than him!
Such as life with a parent who pretended to be the Fashion police
When he has made a faux pas himself a time or two
Not that he would ever admit it to anyone publicly, or privately
Back to the story of this relaxed fit pair who decided to be themselves
Above all else in their burgeoning pairing
Neither side of this two headed coin was the grand ball type
Enjoyed snuggling on a green memory foam couch
To cutting a rug or two at a black tie affair
Not to overrule the idea; just not keen on it until right opportunity
Two unique minds and personalities that loved to create
Allowed them to earn for better possibilities and to cope
With the stress of the mundane around them
Always made each other smile when they got together
Ready to embrace the adventure of this amusing tale
Even if it goes just to the bowling alley
And the adjacent parking lot
It'll still be an adventure with the man in the camouflage shorts.
