All I wanted was a pair of black knickers
Nothing see-through, nothing lacy or red
Not fur trimmed, or edged-round in feathers
But the shop assistant just shook her head
"Black?" she said, "100% cotton?"
"Not much call for that around here..
..Are you sure I can't interest you in these pink ones
With the appliqued deer?"
The suggestion was mooted to order -
Or suffer the underwear fright
Of having to go around wearing
Underwear in pink, blue or white.
