            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!

  Thank you, Lindsay!  You always make me laugh.  Wish someone would invent a skin iron - they'd make a fortune!

To my good friends Jimmy, Linda, Helen and Maureen, I'm glad you all had a laugh.

We should all start our day off with a laugh and then the world would be a much happier place.

Thanks very much for your always kind response. Have a great day and take care.

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
