Fair to middlin' of nowhere

I don’t remember
When I bought it
A decade ago
At least by now
It would have had to
Have been on sale
Dirt cheap
Or I never
Would have considered
Such an extravagance
As a suede leather
Mini skirt

I wore it
On my birthday
When I turned 40
Trying not to
Look my age
And then again
A few other times
Here and there
While it still fit
And there was
Occasion

For years it hung
In the back of
My closet
A fond memory
Of a way
I used to be
And that
Special
Feminine feel
It gave to me

On a whim
This thanksgiving
I dug it out
Just to see if
I could make it
Fit again if
I lost enough
Weight and
Sucked it in

Much to my
Surprise
The zipper zipped
With ease
And I still had
A month to go
Before I turn 53

I know that skirt
Will feel good
On me
As I proudly
Sash shay along
On my husband's arm
In a room of
Roving eyes

Enjoyed this much. I know how it feels to put on something from time ago that we liked and it fits still or "again" (in my case!).

Very charming write, dear Lori.

Love,
Margherita

Niiiicccceeee. Nothing like fine leather in fine form. Keep on sash shaying.
