Notes About The Poem

I always envy women who carry a small slim handbag which looks smart and uncluttered. For me, this is impossible.

A Woman's Lament

A Woman's Lament

				My bag is never big enough
				to hold the things I need,
				a diary, purse and chocolate bars
				and several sets of keys.
				
				And then there's tissues by the score
				escaping from the pack,
				some make-up, hand cream and a comb,
				no item will I lack.

				A pen and pencil, they're a must
				and then there is my 'phone,
				my glasses, sun and otherwise,
				'This bag's too small,' I moan.

				It really is quite suitable
				but I've got so much stuff,
				I think I should eject the junk
				but that would be too tough.

Thanks, Chris. It is true and more annoying every day.
