At my behest
She launched a quest
To find a guest
Who'd be impressed
And not distressed
With my new vest.
And .... not protest
Or get depressed
When I request
That it be pressed
(No! not compressed)
My nice new vest.
Then she confessed
(I could have guessed)
She'd done a test
To find the pest
That ate with zest
The very best
Of my new vest.
I got distressed
That my contest
Now met with jest
So to the west
I flung with zest
My brand new vest.
I'm now quite stressed
That I'm not blessed
With my nice vest
And so bequest
I lay to rest
The former quest
To find a guest
Who'd be impressed
With my new vest.
