I always envy women who carry a small slim handbag which looks smart and uncluttered. For me, this is impossible.
A Woman's Lament
My bag is never big enough
to hold the things I need,
a diary, purse and chocolate bars
and several sets of keys.
And then there's tissues by the score
escaping from the pack,
some make-up, hand cream and a comb,
no item will I lack.
A pen and pencil, they're a must
and then there is my 'phone,
my glasses, sun and otherwise,
'This bag's too small,' I moan.
It really is quite suitable
but I've got so much stuff,
I think I should eject the junk
but that would be too tough.
