(921) Dressed For Dinner Poem by Melvina Germain
(921) Dressed For Dinner
There was something strange going on in the house.
Everyone seemed quiet as a mouse.
I was a little uneasy walking through the living room
when I heard somewhat of a boom, boom.
To my surprise, standing at the top of the stairs
was old Mrs. McClurry, dressed in her wares.
Dressed for dinner in a mink coat long to the floor,
sashing and swaying headed toward the front door.
A close-up view was very distressing,
her makeup was rather depressing.
She turned, looked and smiled at me,
winked and opened her coat you see.
Oh dear, I was in shock,
for underneath she wore no frock.
Just another work day in this old nursing home,
now and again a tenant will roam.

Mel, just loved the humour in this one. It is always amazing what we do as we get older. Some of us go and play Preachers and Indians like me. It only goes to show this is still lots of life is us as we get older. We go back to being kids again. lol. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
