My Clothes Have Shrunk

My clothes have shrunk
No – I do not lie!
It’s not all that cake and apple pie.

The weight I’ve gained is in my bones
The lockdown (with no maids) had me shaped and toned.

If you think I’m lying it might just be your eyes
My clothes have shrunk and they’re a smaller size.

The truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth.
