Covetous!

a Verse in 12 lines

Just the other day,

 on a mannequin, I saw

a cool jacket I liked,

in pale reds and gray.

So, smiling, did I walk

to the hangers nearby,

but d****t and alas,

my size was not in stock.

So with a covetous look,

 did I wickedly catch, 

 stiff Manny's fearful eye,

and his Medium, I took.

I so hate when that happens. When a store doesn't have the right size and you either leave or settle for a different size all together. Can't tell you how many shoes I have that are an inch too big for me haha. They work fine as long as I don't run in them. A very humorous take on a very common situation. Job well done Dylan.

Yeah, with me it's shirts and jackets ...I'm so proud of myself, that I didn't leave with Size-Large, I would've regretted it. (swiping the mannequin's medium was poetic licence haha)
