Poem
A LADIES BAG Hi darling will you please Grab my bag, It’s on the chair with my new dress, Still with its price tag, Ted said that he would look, Okay, I replied please don’t lose The page in my book! My lipstick fell loose inside my bag, It’s really messy, I know, don’t nag, I knew Ted was only being kind, He hated looking in my Bag to find, Whatever it was that I lost, And often said, Buy a smaller bag whatever the cost! Out fall two scarves, A pair of shoes, And a magazine. That was just the start, A lot more I knew Was going to be seen! A packet of popcorn And a box of hooks, And I always carried a Spare pair of brooks! My open purse came next And my cell phone was on, Sending the same text, Over and over again to my friend, How stupid could I possibly be, I felt irresponsible and could Not defend, This careless expensive call, Which I couldn’t substantiate at all! My open purse had spread Money here and there, Oh dear, and my day cream jar had Opened and had spread everywhere! Ted looked at me with A hopeless look, You sort this out he said, I’ll go and cook. My lipstick had fallen into the jar, Imagine if all this had happened In the car! Teddy have you seen my keys, I saw his eyes roll Oh my soul! Are they not in your bag? The one that has begun to sag! Something had to be done soon, He did not have to be At work until noon, So Ted went out to find a bag, For Sue, but here’s the snag, What color would she like? This one was small and bright – definitely She would dislike this and, The black over there, The clasp was awkward, And it would tear, The blue was too big Just like her last, The shop attendant Was about to blast, Ted, so he quickly called Sue To come and choose a bag Of her choice, He hoped not too big, She had such poise, And it didn’t suit her to Sling a huge bag, Over her shoulder and Around her back Like a postman’s sack! Sue chose a bag and they left, Such a silly disagreement They had never meant, For it to last so long, And on their way home sung Their favorite song, Had their supper and went to bed, Sue sleepily said “I love you Ted”.
