Buying a Dress
Invited to some weddings,
It was time to buy a dress.
The thought of such an effort
Was enough to give me stress.
I went to a department store,
A place I rarely shop,
But kept my fingers crossed that it
Would be my only stop.
I found some possibilities
And went to try them on,
Evaluating each with
Mental lists of pro and con.
This one too short, that one too young,
Another had a rip
And one was kind of cute but really
Just too hard to zip.
And then – voila! One made me smile,
A perfect length and size.
I felt like Cinderella
In her godmother disguise.
I paid and took it home and now
There’s no need to despair
For when those weddings roll around
I know what I will wear.
