Out of the Conversation

My wife came home from a clinic,
after seeing the doctor today.
She had a big smile on her face,
before she had these words to say,
“The doctor said my health is great,
for forty-five and then I was told,
that I had the breasts of a woman,
who was just an eighteen year old”.

I just looked up from my paper
and had a slight smirk on my face,
before I reverted to sarcasm,
thinking this’ll put her in her place.
So then I made this smart remark,
“What did the doctor say about,
your fat forty-five year old bum?”
My wife gave a sigh and replied,
“Your name wasn’t mentioned old chum”.
