White tuxedo

Fascinating to see a white limo parked outside the church on a Sunday to celebrate a birthday.

I rarely see
A white tuxedo
Without
A red cummerbund
Red bowtie.
Once I saw two
In a month:
My high school reunion
The classmate who told me
He was in the mental health system
As a client.
The second
Was in a pew
At church
He had rented a limo
For 24 hours,
Rented a tuxedo
To go with it.
This was probably
His last birthday
As near as he
Could figure.
I have not seen
White tuxedoes
Red cummerbunds
The same way
Since.
