Affronted

CEO Andrew Sykes took a social crash dive
he asked a clerk when her baby would arrive.
"I'm not pregnant!" she exclaimed
her face was red and inflamed.
'Tis a miracle he fled her presence alive.

Thanks for your comment, Jan. That actually happened to me on my first day on a new job. I was being introduced to the head of the typing pool, and the woman had a protruding stomach. She looked to be about 8 months pregnant. It took me a long time to live it down.
