'Look!'... I said as I...

strode womanfully into the darkened room.
'I've got hearing aids, that residing in the drawer at home, don't do a lot of good.
I definitely don't want to add a pair of specs to my collection now do I?'

As I flumped into the chair she said,
'You'll need your glasses'
'What glasses?  I haven't got any!'
She visibly brightened...
A sale!

Eyeball to eyeball, she put me through my paces
I read this, I pressed that.
I barked out the letters on the second to bottom line, 
without a pause for breath.
 Clearly and confidently I narrated the script as if auditioning for
the part of Lady Macbeth.
As the appointment progressed she shrunk before my eyes;
was this a trick of the light I idly wondered.

'You are very lucky to be long sighted in one eye
and short in the other, and although your long sighted eye has deteriorated
a little... you really don't need glasses!'

Am I pleased I didn't go the Specsavers.

  3. Lucky you! Though when I take my specs off all those wrinkles, bristles etc. disappear - so, maybe, lucky me!

    1. No matter how keen my eysight is Nilly, I still miss the socking prickle on me chin that wiggles as I try to chat up a dishy feller.

  4. I must be further down the line, it's the bristles that hold my glasses on!

    1. You wait 'til your glasses get tangled up in the wires that sprout from your ears. I suppose some might say the bristles act as aerials. 'Are you receiving me? Over and out!'
