Day of a Double Take

Out on a Sunday grocery shopping,
heading for the dairy department,
out of the corner of my eye I saw,
the back of a very tall leggy blonde,

She must have been 6'2" tall,
with her muscular legs wearing high heels,
her knee length dress was a pretty green,
she turned around and I thought what a scene,

Because it was actually a stubbled guy,
with make up on even on his eyes,
the other shoppers took it all in stride,
like he/she was a regular shopper all the time,

But I couldn't help but curiously stare,
as if a blonde Bruce Jenner/Caitlin was there,
when he/she walked the dress swirled,
in my Walmart upside down shopping world.

Ty for such an eye-opening poem, Cheryl. Lol! Welcome to 2017, that won't be the strangest sight you've yet to have seen. Appreciate the visual laughs. Shocked you to a 7 even. Nod and a wink, times ain't what it use to be, don't you think. Funny, funny poem. Love and hugs.

This was great Cheryl, so funny. I could picture this even though I don't frequent Walmart. That is definitely an upside down world, that's for sure. Thanks for the humor tonight.

It can indeed be another world, Cheryl. : ) "People of Walmart" on Youtube = nearly endless viewing pleasure.
