I guess I should have been born a man, because I totally agree with about shopping. It's not even a bit fun for me if I have to try on something, which is few and far between. Love this. Kat

Although this piece is fairly long, it held my attention throughout the piece. The rhyming is good. This piece flows well as the harmony holds it all together. The message is clear and to the point as the passion of the writer is felt throughout the piece. Good work

This is so funny and I laugh because this could be my husband and I. He too waits patiently but I'm sure it's not what he wants to be doing. "I love the line, "Oh my God you look amazing." Great answer! I chuckle too cause our tradeoff is I get to shop a day but the next will be his day for golf. Good job!

Thanks, Tia - yes, it did win - sometimes you know as it appears on paper (or in fact this was mostly composed in my head while I was working outside)

That is such a cute poem and so true I'm told by many. I'm a freak woman, I guess. I've always hated shopping and could be the man in this poem. Guess that's why my hubby loves me. Ha the poem is written well also and I would never shorten it. You had much to say on the subject. So many of the short, short poems are just that--short, short with nothing to say. Good job.

If you don't win with this one I will be totally surprised. You have penned a hilarious picture of a female shopper. They are a nightmare.

Although I am female I rarely go on spending sprees and can usually decide for myself if my bum is too big
best of luck

Hahahahahahaha! Oh you wicked man, you! This is extremely unkind to we lovely ladies. We are only attempting to look our best for you, after all.

I ran out of breath. Quitting smoking is the best bloody thing (but VERY difficult! LOL)

Intensely fun and funny! This is a wonderful entry for this prompt!!! Exceptional rhyme and meter too!
