The Wardrobe

She had a bit of a problem Of which she was reluctant to disclose Her wardrobe was full to overflowing With a wild array of clothes She justified this behaviour By insisting it was cheap stuff Purchased from the op shops She couldn't get enough Because it was so cheap She'd buy three things instead of one Her shirts multiplied in dozens And her dresses by the tonne The day eventually arrived The wardrobe door would close no more The drawers were overstuffed Things were piled up on the floor Clearly drastic action was needed And obviously, without a doubt This would require some discipline And red wine to sort it out Hours later, knackered and dishevelled She had reduced her clothing stash She promised never to repeat this mistake And instead save herself the cash She staggered to the op shop Weighed down with bags of gear But naturally, there was a sale on And really, she had nothing left to wear...

I suppose i can't really complain; Sue bought a sewing machine and her wardrobe is expaqnding by the day. First time in my life we've run out of coat hangers. Nice true life poem

Thanks Terry :) You'll be needing extra rooms for clothes storage soon, by the sounds of it!

Just love the feathery touch on display in this romp -- esp. the lines about 'discipline and red wine!' LOL. And the ending is just perfect. This is a big fave for me! Thanks! Excelsior, Gershon
