Sometime's A Woman's Gotta Do What A Woman's Gotta Do

---

This old gal…

Had her hands full in Market Square…popcorn…pop…bulky ceramic turtle…needed a bag to carry it in…for the walk to the hotel…

Looked in a shop for something simple…cheap…a paper throw away bag…that husband of mine spying something and pointing it out…

This is pretty…he says…and yes it was…very pretty indeed…pretty pricey too…more pricey than a two dollar gift bag…

Browsed the shop…he coming back to the pretty bag…his lovely wife resisting…have enough bags…don’t need any more…

The shop owner…clever woman that she was…picked up on the struggle…it’s a lovely bag isn’t it…she says to that man of mine…hand made in Guatemala…she explains further…

They chat…about the bag…Texas…her hometown…he never leaving the vicinity…of the bag…bag lover me…didn’t need…

And so it is…in life…sometimes a woman’s gotta do…what a woman’s gotta do…to make that man of hers…happy…
​
And that husband of mine…agrees…
