A Night Out on the Town

 

 

My wife and I had found the time
A night out on the town
I was dressed in shirt and slacks
She in her favorite gown

Hair in place and perfume on
She spied the mirrored door
Deciding that she looked okay
She still looked good and more

Man that I am, as you can guess
I thought we were ready to go
I started out to get the car
Then I heard her say, “Oh no”

A frown upon her pretty face
Her head moved back and forth
She stood with hands upon her hips
Eyeing me from south to north

Thinking of what I may have done
It dawned on my simple mind
My clothes did fit a bit too tight
Pants stretched over my behind

I’m not fat, my pants shrunk
I explained it to my lass
She said they didn’t shrink at all
The problem is your fat ass

      Thoroughbred........If I tried that line on my wife she'd laugh herself into a stroke.

      Thanks my friend.

      Subtlety takes too much time and after a certain number of years, you just speak your mind and let it go.
      Thanks

        I've never had that problem. I've been an open book since I was a child. One of the occupational hazards of bein' a librarian, ya know.
