Sure Signs


THAT'S MY WORLD

SCENIC SUNDAY

Spring blossoms at The Junction;
A very welcome sight.
Fulfilling a useful function;
Making the world more bright.

TWO CLOTHES FOR COMFORT!

I can nap in anything, Maxine!
And nothing too, if you know what mean!
After lunch I go all sort of limp
And lose the urge to titivate or primp.
The nearest couch just beckons and I flop;
No matter that I'm in my sequined top!
Creases? I say who cares about a crease?
All I ask is a little bit of peace.
But when it comes to comfort I insist
That comfortable shoes are on my list.
Should I attempt high heels I simply stagger;
Not for me the slinky walk or martial swagger!
I get a pained expression on my face
As I'm limping at an ever-slower pace.
Yes! Comfortable shoes are what I need.
A sure sign that I'm very old indeed!
But wait! There is that other irritation,
A quite unnecessary complication!
Those little tags and labels at the neck
Which make my skin an itchy scratchy wreck!
Labels never worried me before!
But now I find they make me really sore!
Ban them, I say! Our simply cut them out!
Surely they're something we could do without!
And so, Maxine, I have a carefree snooze.
Relaxing in 'no tags' and 'comfy shoes'!

Oh, I agree with you about comfortable shoes. I never ever expected to get old enough to have a podiatrist. Isn't Maxine great? Always a laugh.
Some clothing manufacturers are now printing their names right onto the fabric inside the neck of a garment now, Rinkly, much more comfortable than tags, or the tags I've snipped off but not quite enough, so they scratch even more than they did before. Argh!

I love this,
I love this,

I must go to tell the King,
Spring has sprung,
At least in Australia.
