The Revolution Will Not Be Martinized
A Dribble of A Drabble
The revolution...
...will not be available in an hour in a cardboard box or on hangers that you can save for emergencies and those extra coats.
The revolution...
...will not come with the option of heavy starch on the collars or no starch at all because you feel like your neck is on the line.
The revolution...
...will not give you a receipt that you can pay for now or later, or even hand off to someone else to pick up for you when you're at work.
The revolution...
...will not attempt more jokes like this because...you missed the point!

Nice work! The revolution may well be immanentized before it is televised
But hopefully it will come, excellent points
I'd laugh but it hurts too much.
