The Logic of Shopping
What is it about shopping that
Appeals so to the women in my life?
And why can’t a man empathize,
Or plumb the logic found in “Book of Wife.”
Indeed the ideal clothes for men
Would be the ones found under Christmas tree!
Presumably they fit at least
And wife must like them, maybe even me?
But from a man’s perspective it
Is time that he has saved that really counts!
And nothing compensates its loss,
Not perfect fit, not two for one discounts!
And face it gals, what woman gains
By hiding flaws or boosting what’s not there?
It’s what he sees when it’s just you,
That makes him feel like he’s a zillionaire.
