Revealing Truth

She didn't look me in the eyes
As she said "I'll find a larger size".
It soon was very plain to see
This bikini was not meant for me.
It resembled one of Daddy's ties.



For Battle of Bulge contest won 2nd place in Battle of the Bulge contest

Got a great laugh thinking of you wearing one of your father's ties, Joyce, as well as the "attitude" of the sales lady. Congratulations on placing second in the contest! Love, Carolyn
