I need to buy a jacket,
So sought my wife’s advice.
She kindly agreed to accompany me,
Which I thought was terribly nice.
It only took four hours,
With all the following bagged:
Two blouses, some pants,
One ‘top’ and one dress.
Oh how my posture sagged.
Of jackets, nothing at all,
Nothing could I don.
I’ll do it tomorrow – on my own.
Oh no all my money has gone.
