FAILING EYESIGHT An old man walked into a lingerie shop And bought a skimpy negligee for his wife; He thought it might add a little spark to his spouse And perhaps put a little lust back into his life. “Oh darling it’s lovely,” his wife was quick to exclaim But she thought we haven’t made love for ten years, But that night when he asked her to put on the slip She new that his thoughts were not in arrears. Going into the bathroom to don the new negligee She found out that it was definitely too small, With his eyesight failing she thought I’ll stay in the nude She reckoned he won’t notice the difference at all. The old fellow was sitting on the side of the bed When the old lady finally walked out in the raw, With a frown, he said, “considering the price that I paid You would have thought they’d have ironed it for sure.

My word! I knew that there must be an hilarious closing line coming up but I wasn't prepared for that one! I just sprayed some of my black current tea on my monitor screen! lol lol lol Hmm, I wonder if there is such a thing as a skin ironer that doesn't burn?!?  Love to laugh! Love you! Lindy Lou  |

LOL! He should not have waited ten years! Are you sure it was only his eyesight failing? ....and Lindylou, there is a skin ironer, but it can cause dimples in unsightly places, too.  ~K |

ROFLMAO... I should know better by now than to be drinking when I click on your poems... liquid in the throat doesn't appreciate guffaws. LOL Note to self: Buy a blindfold and make sure his eyes are covered... less painful than a skin iron. LOL |
