DOES MY BUM LOOK BIG IN THIS?
Like all devoted husbands
a big part of my life
is spent outside a changing room
sat waiting for my wife.
"Does my bum look big in this?"
I cast a nervous glance.
I want to say, "It's perfect!"
but before I get the chance
she's back inside the cubicle
to try on number two.
I tell her it looks lovely
but she's not convinced it's true.
So she tries on number three,
number four and number five
whilst I quickly check my pulse -
making sure I'm still alive!
Number three is far too short
and four is far too tight.
Number five is perfect but...
...the colour isn't right.
The fashion show continues
as my wife demands to know
which dresses are a 'maybe'
and which ones are a 'no'.
The 'no's are soon discarded
in a pile upon the floor
before my wife emerges
in the first one that she saw!

I love it, though I do have to point out the final rhyme is, well ... "floor"<>"saw" ... might I suggest: Just a thought - but either way I love the poem and I do know what you are talking about [not only wives - daughters too ]
