UNDERWEAR
 

        

The deal breaker is size 7
and winter white

If there is a pink spot on
it, it's brought back to a rav.

His aging squint decides if
the tint is menstrual and that
I have to move to a fold out bed.

Or his aging squint decides that
I can touch my husband
Get shtupped this evening.

Today the old man sits at home
his black suit pinching, my
horny husband on edge,
my cotton crotch the size of their pinkies.

To the left, sits a sick  grandkid.

At night, the old man
slips off his shoes
gets ready for Shma.

Strips off his jacket
his socks his pants

Does he recall my handsome husband?

Does he picture open mouths?
     hands everywhere?
Does he turn to kiss his voibal?
