TODAY I SHOP FOR NEW JEANS

My old ones have split at the seams              

before holiday dinners
my waistline was thinner
sadly I know what this means

Today I shop for new jeans

I sort through the rows
of sizable clothes
extending now into the teens
sadly I know what this means

Today I shop for new jeans

plate after plate
of the goodies I ate
blew my diet to smithereens
sadly I know what this means

Today I shop for new jeans

I’ve been to the gym
and still can’t get slim
it’s harder to do than it seems
sadly I know what this means

Today I shop for new jeans

I stand on the scale
as my face starts to pale
how could this happen I scream
sadly I know what this means

Today I shop for new jeans

I bump into Sue
She must need jeans too
I’m so glad it isn’t just me
sadly I know what this means

Do you need to shop for new jeans?
