I Think I Can Get Into These Jeans

I think I can get into these jeans, Deloris said.
She wiggles and giggles and lies back on the bed.
The jeans are stretched as far as jeans ever go.
I wonder if they’ll split, they are crying out “whoa!”

I know I can do this, she argues, moving her fat.
I wore them a month ago, she says to her cat.
The cat rolls his eyes and goes off to catch mice.
Deloris fails to get into these jeans more than thrice.
