I saw it on Lorraine last week,

the fashion bit on GMB,

from that very moment,

I knew it was the dress for me.

 

Mark Heyes said it was a bargain,

win win, it was in the sale,

even better, I thought,

you can't beat a bargain rail.

 

I took myself to Primark,

queued two metres apart,

as I got near the front,

I could feel my beating heart.

 

Once inside, I soon spotted it,

the dress was straight ahead,

on the rail and underneath,

the “grab a bargain” sign in red.

 

I scoured the rails many times,

every size, just not mine,

I bought the dress anyway,

a size below will fit just fine.

 

I queued up at the check out,

on those two metre spots,

the cashier was protected,

by a plastic screen with slots.

 

Back home, I can not wait,

will it fit, I have my doubts,

big knickers on, the zip goes up,

perfect, if I breath in and not out.

 

I am so happy with my dress,

after lockdown it will look great,

as long as for the foreseeable,

there is only salad on my plate.
