The Day I Bought a Detroit Stripper

I am approaching mid-life

If you consider 49 mid-life

Almost too quickly

That is why my recent purchase

Is quite surprising:

I bought a Detroit Stripper.

Well, not really,

What I really bought

Was a paintbrush

A very specific type of

Brush

Excellent for painting texture,

A Deerfoot Stippler

Imagine my friend’s surprise

Reading my text:

“Went to Michael’s today. Bought a Detroit Stripper.”

Auto-correct is a jerk!
