Arthur is my brother we spend a lot of time together we both
wear each other’s shirts trousers skirts dresses three piece
suits denim jackets drain pipe jeans high vis vests skinny jeans
crocheted hats leather gloves singlets tailored high waist
trousers waistcoats monocles shotguns watches riding boots
driving goggles macs coats capes cloaks shorts thongs t shirts
rash vests wet suits sweat shirts jumpers anoraks evening
dresses upset stomachs headaches wigs toupees glasses short
hair long hair pony tail moustaches leg hairs we both have leg
hairs. We both have moustaches. We both have such thin
arms.
