My Appearance I go to see a girl-friend; My clothes are nice and neat. I comb the hair on my head And shine the shoes on my feet. My best friend is getting married; He's asked me to be "best man. " I want to make his weeding great, So I dress the best I can. I'll attend a funeral tomorrow; I will look my very best. A brand new shirt and tie, Plus a new suit and vest. Now it's Sunday morning; I will worship God today. My clothes won't be too tidy, And my hair in disarray. My shirt will be open, To show the hair on my chest. . . And I'm not really too concerned, Whether or not my pants are pressed. Why is it when before men. I want to look my best, But when I come to worship God, I don't care how I'm dressed? -Anon.
