Fitting In

FITTING IN She just wasn't having it, she so needed a extra size But, into that slim skirt, and the zipper, she did prise There were ripples forming on her belly front, as butt A sideways glance from the hubby renders such a tut That was her just standing, but what if she was to sit Not sure if those seams would hold out or gonna split Hubby rummages the wardrobe finding a slacker skirt I like you best in this one, c'mon, surely couldn't hurt Elasticated waist band, it just slid on her like a dream Sometimes it is better on dressing, to work as a team So after meal time, found, she still had room to spare Decided as an extra she would have a chocolate éclair Such, was this elasticated waist band, just didn't care Least for leaving the table; there was no flesh to bare Indiana Shaw . . . ; )

I like the understated humor here, Diane... As well, it resonates for me, as my wife and I kind of work like this: Each helps the other accommodate the years of weight. Smiles, Gershon

There's a time in your life, Gershon, you've just got to let your gut mellow out . . . ; )

Yes. Been there; done that! One has to be careful with the comment, however. I always prefaced it with "Oh, wow, you look so good in this" while putting the other one back in the closet...way back in the closet!

Milt's, I still have 2 skirts from younger days I keep in a box far away in the recess of my closet, and far away from the recess of my mind ; )
