My Dressing Routine. I’ve learnt to follow this routine without fail. A Poem written by Colleen Millsteed.

I wake each morning and climb out of bed
It’s time to get dressed and without a mistake,
I choose the same outfit day in and day out
A routine not for the timid, it’s totally for my sake.

I search through the cupboard and then the drawers
Oh no, that’s rights it’s all hanging on the line,
I cannot begin my routine with out my big girl panties
I’ll never be able to leave my house if I cannot find.

It’s a basic necessity, really not too much to ask
Ahhhh there they are as I’m flooded with relief,
With panties on I start searching for the next
An undergarment that’s going to share my beliefs.

I find it easily and pull it down over my head
This undergarment is my deepest of trust,
So I need a dress or skirt of optimism next
Okay a skirt today, so I’ll need a belt to adjust.

With a skirt on, a blouse is called for don’t you think
I have the perfect little top to match the set,
It is a shower of happiness, who would not love that
But…
