Tying a Scarf

I’ve never learned to tie a scarf
Which makes me quite the fool
‘Cause scarves can make an outfit
Look both chic and really cool.

I stare at women sporting them
Tied in a jaunty knot
And wonder what it is they have
That I just haven’t got.

My mother never taught me
How to carry off, with flair,
A swath of silk around my neck,
So suave and debonair.

What isn’t in our wheelhouse,
Even if it could be taught,
Likely never would be something
We would seek if never sought.
