The Jean Buying Disaster

The Jean Buying Disaster


Shopping has become an exercise in futility for me
There’s nothing out there
For a middle-aged grandma to wear
I just wanted a pair of jeans
It should not have been a monumental task

But there I was, running from store to store
Like a chicken with its head cut off
Finally coming to the realization
That is was not meant to be
There would be no new jeans for me

I did find a commonality though…
In each and every place
The jeans had no waist
I jumped in numerous pair
And in every one my midriff was bare

Oh, they were cute enough, to be sure
On a lithe young body
With tiny little hips
A scar free tummy
And a belly button ring

But I am painfully aware
That no one out there
Wants to see me
A middle-aged woman
With a caesarian scar

And… the cute little camisole tops
Are made for cute perky little boobs
I’d have to have mine custom made,
Industrial strengthed
At Martha the tent- makers shop

So I went home empty-handed
Resigned, feeling maligned
And I pray that some day
That someone with compassion
Will be in charge of fashion

there's something to be said for wearing clothes, which don't leave One feeling half naked, even after putting them on.

Witty piece, written on truth. Great job

Very witty and observant. Everything is geared towards the young, even though the baby boomers have a lot of power.
