THE THING TO DO.

THE THING TO DO.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

A MAN GOES CLOTHES SHOPPING WITH HIS DAME

"



What do you think
about this dress?
Johnny's dame asked
is it too short?

he looked at the blue dress
the length
the tightness
the way it hung
no it's ok
he said

ok what?
she asked
too long
too short
does it fit me well?

he looked at her
standing in front
of a mirror
in the clothes store
her a*s was big in it
her breasts were kind
of trying to fight
their way out
of the top
yes it looks well on you
he said

she turned around
in front of the mirror
looking at herself
as she turned
are you sure
it looks ok?

sure it does
he said
fits like a glove

I'm not buying gloves
she said
I'm buying a darn dress
she looked at herself
over her shoulder
at her backside
and her back
her waist

it seems kind of tight
she said
is it kind of tight

no
well only where it touches
he said

a young dame walked by
a member of staff
he guessed

hey
he said
how's my dame
look in the dress?

the member of staff
came across
and looked at the dress
and turned Johnny's dame around

I think you need
a larger size Madam
this is a bit on
the small size
and walked off  

you see
Johnny's dame said
you are useless
to talk to about clothes
why do I ask you
about clothes
you know nothing
why I could have
walked out of here
looking a tramp
and you'd not
turn a hair
she said

Johnny watched
a young dame walk by
pushing a pram
her dress fitted neat
narrowing and widening up
where it ought
and no not too short

so what are you
going to do?
he asked his dame

come again
with someone else
she said
not you

ok
he said
that's the thing
to do.
