Size Lies

Clothing manufacturers are fond of tricks today,
Making female customers feel good in one slick way—
Whatever size they’ve always been—they’re now two sizes smaller!
So next they might try making men think they’re three inches taller.

Bedrock

Sometimes late at night when she’s sleeping,
I like to look over and see,
God’s bounty that I have been reaping:
Her choice of a lifetime with me.

Asked and Answered

“At what time do you think we should go?”
A decision with which he seemed tasked.
But when he picked a time, she said, “No.”
He can’t figure out why he was asked.

    I always enjoy your humor, Russel. This size con has been going on for a long time. I’m glad you called it out.
