Modesty
He winced when I wore winceyette
Pyjamas – not a nightie
I didn’t want to make him think
That I was being flighty!
He rather liked my flannelette
He said that it was cosy
It covered every part of me
With fabric soft and rosy
I wore my winter thermals
I think he liked them best
He said they looked fantastic
With my bed socks and my vest
But he wasn’t very thoughtful
When I was feeling cute
He said it needed ironing
When I wore my birthday suit!

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I wrote it after blogging this:

Very nice sense of humour . Winciette seems to date this piece [ to 1960 s ] as I've never heard of it in 40 years !!!!!!!!!!!! David.

Oh you can still find wincyette 
but it's probably called something like "cotton mixture" or the like.
PS I wonder what event sparked the idea for this poem ? Just a rhetorical question. David.

Would you believe a spammer on my other blog?

Still prefer the 'Silky One'; Winceyette sound not quite 'fitting'; Birthday Suit? Now then! 
That Spammer!
