Cut Your Cloth

After a while I return
Fairly quickly, from determining
That the Fair Isles are not for me

Although now more understanding 
Of the difficulty
To order the handmade pullover

These days it is the cruise ships
Whose needs are met first and foremost
They are the regular sources of income

And although they are here today
And gone tomorrow
That is no bad thing; to feed

The instantly gratified well-off clientele
No bickering, no bartering, and
Never, ever, is anything sent back
