Like A Weed

Going to a wedding tomorrow
It’s been a while since the last one
3 or 4 years, maybe
Wore slacks
Nice shirt
And tie
No jacket
Because I outgrew it
Going to a wedding tomorrow
It’s been a while since the last one
3 or 4 years, maybe
Got a nice shirt
And tie
This time
No slacks
Waist
Catching up to my chest and belly
So I’m off to the store now
Don’t feel bad just yet
There is some good news in all of this
At least my socks still fit

  Ha, thanks! It is pretty much anytime for me as well. Except this time I can’t mark it off to “who cares if I’m under dressed”.
  I’ll just have to dance a little harder in order to reverse the growth. Poor me…haha

Haha…thanks David! Proud to say I’ve worn the same size in socks for many years, 25+ in fact.
