Check Please

He was achingly pretty.
Worthy of a Richter rating.
And only a little dull.
Forgiveable, surely?

Concerned over the
suitability of the striped shirt,
he appealled for
external assistance.

You could, I declared,
make a hessian sack 
seem destined for Milan.

(No one’s looking at the packaging,
was what I wanted to say - 
the striped shirt already crumpled
on the floor near the kitchen bench
later that night thanks to my 
overactive imagination).

Dinner dragged.
