Framed

Saw some funky glasses But I couldn’t quite decide. I liked two styles, but should I let The salesclerk be my guide? I hemmed and hawed and tried them on Again and then once more. I needed someone else’s eyes To really know the score. I’d planned to meet my husband So at last when he did show, I alternately tried each pair To see which way he’d go. Turns out the clerk was right as rain And even I agreed; At last from all my indecision I was finally freed. But here’s a little postscript With a cool ironic twist. Those specs were really special And not easy to resist. And so the other glasses Never made it to the shelf. My husband tried them on and yes, He bought them for himself!
