A Wifely Surprise

Last Saturday it’s to the pub,
and walk inside the public bar,
where I met up with Tommy Judd,
who is at time’s a chump galah.

Tom was looking smart and slick,
in a custom tailored outfit. 
Too flash to wear in public bars;
more suited as a Toorak kit.

‘Where’d you get that fancy clobber?’
I asked Tom and brought a drink.
Tom proudly smirked and stated,
‘It’s gifted from my wife I think.’

‘Yes my wife always surprises me,
but from work I came home early,
and there they were, my surprise -
she’s such a precious girlie.’

‘I could feel her enduring love,
for there’s this custom coat to wear,
plus these trousers in our bedroom,
and both draped across a chair.

Hello Elizabeth … I agree with you Elizabeth. If someone told you this story I don't know what I'd do, but I certainly wouldn't try to explain what has really happened - thank you Elizabeth - Lindsay

Correct Tom … at least he got some flash clothes out of it. Maybe there was a wallet in the pocket too - thanks Tom - Lindsay
