HIGH AND MIGHTY
You might think it specialised in Stetson hats
But no! it caters for blokes with huge stats
Though they don’t call the website “Lardarses and Fats”
For fear of offending them slightly
It goes by the name “High and Mighty”.
Its clientele all have an oversized girth
From shovelling chips in for all that they’re are worth
“Genetic” they’ll say, “I’ve been big from birth”
The Manager nods most politely
(A common line at “High and Mighty”).
He used to get clothes from the Exchange and Mart
But now to the salesman he coyly imparts
I need a loose-fitting shirt playing my darts
As big as Our Gert’s floral nightie
No problem for “High and Mighty”.
He tries three or four on that’s all XOS
And 56 waisters with little success
“Fear not” says the salesman, keen to impress
“I’ve something to fit you less tightly;
For nothing are we “High and Mighty”.
At one time there used to be Evans next door
Where women call “plus sized” could browse and explore
And pull on huge dresses found round the shop floor
With frocks on which money was spent
As big as a Chipperfield’s tent.
But sad to relate that their stores are no more
That caters for old Billy Bunters and Thor
With shirts, vests and trousers big as a barn door
No longer are seen here in Blighty
They’re now Internet “High and Mighty”.
