Fashion's Grip

You know that fashion's got you in its grip
    when you embark on a shopping trip

  to scout out the latest markdowns and deals
    on matching trash cans ~ C'mon, Jill, get real

Who needs to go shopping for fashion, surely we all kept our flares and tank tops…. Oh, only me then! Ho hum! Fun write, GW. Terry

My husband begs me NOT to get a cart when I enter any store, especially Macys. More space in a cart, the more space in your wallet, he teases. Unfortunately, I cave to fashion's "grip" I know, tsk, tsk..They need to lock the doors! I love poems that I can relate to. This was funny, cute and true.
