DEATH BY FASHION

New showerproof jacket
Label telling lies that sell
Of warmth and shelter
Better than any other

Rain pours down and down
Never-ending wetness
Streams running down
Hair and face drenched

Soaked like a fat sponge
Wringing out heavy sleeves
Feeling the sodden hemline
Bashing against soggy legs

Absorbing entire clouds
Every spit, splat, drip, drop
Pockets fill like wells
Drowning keys and phone

Flapping, slapping fabric
Helping wind eat me up
Cold to the core again
Like yesterday and before

Sun takes over at last
Drying out top layers
Ignoring inner layers
Deceiving on-lookers

More effective in reverse
Keeping moisture locked in
Away from sun-dried outer
Propogating rain and sweat

Smelly and uncomfortable
Picking up dust and dirt
From sloppy mud kicked up
Colours change to drab

Craving cosy, cheap and bulky
Cursing such expensive failure
In rain, wind, sun and mud
Fearing certain death by fashion

I feel your pain, last "waterproof" I bought was more effective at making me sweat and keeping the moisture in than any rain out !

Poor Tanza... Buy a brolly! I used to have this awesome gold umbrella we used to call the Bling Brolly. I lost it out clubbing about 5 years ago. Regrets.

I've got the mother of all brollies. It's a massive dome and it covers my whole torso...and that's an incredible feat for any form of attire. However, when it rains, I can't see through it...so everyone has to watch out.

Love the description 'shower proof'. No...not shower proof. Spit proof maybe, but I'm well past my moshing phase now, so not much good to me.
