The emperor who
was tricked by the tailors
is familiar to you.

But the tailors
keep on changing
what they do
to make money.

(Tailor means
to make something
fit somebody.)

Be guaranteed 
that they will discover
your pride.

You will cast aside
something you cherish
when the tailors whisper.
“Only you could wear this.”

It is almost never clothes
such as the emperor bought

but it is always something close
to something you’ve got.
