I dressed with style in my best suit
As off to church I went.
I knew I looked quite lovely and
My time had been well spent.
I was to read the lesson so
I sat in convenient pew
And listened to the choir
As I waited for my cue.
I walked gracefully with confidence
As I hurried down the aisle.
Then wondered as I faced them why
Each parishioner had a smile.

It wasn't until I was home
And changing from my suit,
That I realized why everyone
Had gotten such a hoot
Out of the somber lesson
That I had read that day.
A prim and proper Lutheran
Will seldom act that way.
As I removed my shoes I saw
I had worn two of a kind.
One had a solid back and one
Had just a sling behind.

Dear Joyce:

I'm glad you can see the humor in this event! I knew a woman once who went to church with a spare undergarment caught on the back of her skirt. Someone finally clued her in after she wondered what everyone was laughing at.

Joyce,

I love this and have grown to love you too. You have such a way of telling on yourself while giving us permission to laugh along with you. That's a treat and an art.

Thank you.

Love,
Alison

Love it. I once went out for the evening with one black shoe and one tan. When I like a shoe I buy them in two colors, this was a mistake on this day. LOL
best to you, Latearrival

i think we all have a moment like this, my was going to work with a nightgown stuck in the waist of my pants...no one laughed (they didn't dare) until i was well past them, out of the lockers and break room and headed straight for the customer service desk at Fred Meyers that i caught a glimpse of it as i walked...makes one take a little more time b4 leaving house...funny now, embarrassing then.
