DEAR Gertrude, now you rise, it’s clear,
From budget coats a full step higher,
While I, a faithful budgeteer,
Raise my voice, confused, to inquire,
Who fixes the terms the trade press quotes,
Maligning my budget coat as inferior,
Something less than a better coat,
Something drabber, something drearier?

Luck to you, Gertrude, keep up the quest,
Budget to better, better to best.
Budget to better, better to best.
