Fooled by the Lights

‘Twas a rush as I flashed my card.
Now the mirror at home won't hide
the clumpy, lumpy mounds of lard
and the massive backside.
A fool and her money are easily stunned
by mirrors and lights that say - score,
It’s not that I want an exchange or refund -
just to look like I did in the store.
