Waterproof, and, firmly zipped,
Good to minus 30C.
So why this coat has pockets
Lined with gossamer’s beyond me.
The touch of key or pencil,
Both normal things to carry,
Rips gossamer asunder;
Form and function just don’t marry.
When making outdoor clothing
Strong, warm, fleece-lined, hear my plea:
Stop stitching pocket linings
From cloth woven in faery.
