Does My Bum Look Big In This

“Does my bum look big in this”
Now, be careful what you say
Just a single wrong word 
Could spoil a lovely day

“No, my dear it’s lovely
Your looking pretty trim
I don’t know how you do it
You always look so slim”

I think I got away with it
That’s put her at her ease, 
She’s looking in the mirror now
Don’t look too closely, please!

Too late, she’s checking out her rear
Her bottom she’ll inspect
And if she isn’t happy 
I’ll get it in the neck

“I like this dress, I’ll take it”
“Thank god” for that, I say
Now that shopping’s over
It’ll be a smashing day
