They came in a bag
Can I exchange these?
Tiny corner exposed
Sent him for, you know,
For my 19 year old.
Laughing together –
He bought these, can you believe?
Heads bent, shaking
Struggling to get the words out,
Tears threatening to fall.
Men, eh? What else would you expect?
They went in a bag
Just these, love.
Later that day
Corduroy suit and tie
Resusable bag pleat-tuck-perfect.
They’re for my wife,
She’s 91, in a home.
I have to buy them, can you believe?
Heads bent, shaking
Struggling to get the words out,
Tears threatening to fall.
Men, eh? What else would you expect?
