The Eye Test

 

The optician asks me if I could see

The letter in front of me, 'Yes,' I say,

'It's an 'A.'  The letter below is 'B'.'

She says: 'Your eyes can see well.  Well done, Faye.'

I was pleased I won't have to wear glasses,

Nor have to consider the range of tints

My eyes does this whole tricky test passes,

'Some colour contacts?' The optician hints.

I'm not into contacts so I declined

And knew she was trying to sell items

But in some bold sun shades I was inclined

They looked like fashionable little gems.

I left the place without a prescription

Since driving now gives me no restriction.
