: January 21 I wrote an ode
: To jackets yet unworn.
: The tale has come full circle now
: And so this poem's born.

: T'was Friday came, no U.P.S.
: I had to leave for work.
: They showed just after I had gone.
: I felt like such a jerk.

: On Saturday, they don't drop off.
: "We're closed" -you can't pick up.
: I passed the weekend restlessly,
: Tried to think of other stuff.

: But waiting's hard, impatient man,
: For the jacket I did seek.
: I'd often try to calm myself,
: Count to ten... in Greek.

: So today, an end has come,
: An end to jacket waits.
: And none too soon, it made me ill,
: A bowl-full of bad dates.

: The great brown truck and in the back
: All wrapped in Sarge's tape.
: Soon I'd have my goat in hand.
: For it there's no escape.

: An open box, a treasure chest.
: I held my prize up high.
: The color was exactly right.
: Here's kudos on the dye!

: Then I checked upon the grain,
: You know it's near my heart.
: Blessed with a bright-sunny day
: The sleeves were where I'd start.

: For joy! The goat had done the trick.
: Fine grain, just-right amount.
: Up and down and twist and turn
: Small pebbles I could count.

: What about the fit and finish?
: Eight stitches to the inch.
: This baby's sure to stand the test
: If I get in a pinch.

: So color's great and grain is right.
: This thing's as tough as nails.
: It took me several crash and burns.
: Brave raider never fails.

: So if you're thinking U.S. Wings
: I thought you'd like to hear it.
: To use the words of nemesis
: Roy Batty, "That's the spirit!"

: I'm pleased with how the saga ends.
: I'm glad to share the story.
: My wish to all you Indy fans,
: The fortune and the glory!
