ALL THE PRETTY THINGS

ALL THE PRETTY THINGS

**My sisters and I at my daughter’s wedding last year! We all love fashion!**

Pretty girls in magazines,

Gorgeous dresses, shoes and jeans,

All those new things in the shops,

Luring me from my laptop.

If I only just had that dress,

My head wouldn’t be such a mess,

Those jeans would give my bum a lift,

They’re soft and stretchy, a perfect fit.

Have you seen those shoes right there?

Which colour do you most prefer?

I like the blue, also the white,

They’re nice and flat to my delight.

Shall I get red, what do you think?

The beige ones go with everything.

Oh what the f***, I’ll get them all!

Most shoes for me are much too small.

I need a bag, a crossover,

Nowadays that’s the style I wear,

My shoulder hurts with bigger bags,

Those heavy ones are such a drag.

And now I’ve spent far too much cash!

Shit! I’ve not even been to BA&SH!

Should I nip in, is it too late?

Or is it best to not tempt fate?

Those boho dresses I really like,

They do them well, they’re just my style.

Oh, never mind, I should refrain,

My passion for fashion is such a drain.

I’ll close my eyes so I won’t see,

Zara, Anthropologie,

I’ll just go home, sit in my chair,

I’ve many clothes I never wear.

I don’t need more, yet every year,

I can’t resist those lovely treats.

Tell me now, are you are like me?
