Over Wearing Underwear: Monthly Poetry

 

 

 

 

Last Friday of the month is for

Monthly Poetry Group to rhyme.

Diane, Mimi, and I take turns,

"Underwear" is the theme this time.

 

As usual, today I'll try,

a poem to write . . . or fudge.

Whether I'm successful or not,

you get to be the judge.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over Wearing Underwear

Underwear's changed quite a bit,

over time, from then to now.

Corsets pinching at the waist,

are no longer considered high brow.

Granny pants were once the norm,

now we wouldn't be caught dead.

It's French cut, bikinis, g-strings,

and sayings . . . where they shouldn't be read.

Oh, the pressure to get it right,

we've all been mommy-harassed,

should we get into an accident,

don't by underwear, be embarrassed.

Then came a perplexing thing,

underwear's become outerwear?

Corsets came back into style,

worn, exposed, without a care.

This I have to ask, though,

'cause to me it has to matter,

what happens when you're cooking and,

those hot things . . . you know . . . splatter?

 

 

Apple Cinnamon French Toast Sandwich

Lets not forget the men folk,

tidy whitey, boxers, even thong?

How many options do they need?

And where did we go wrong?

They too show way too much it seems,

"cool" young men prefer to wear,

pants down below their buttocks,

exposing what they wear . . . down there.

Think, though, 'fore we judge today,

those we consider over exposed,

of fabled emperor who'd best have worn,

underwear with his "new clothes."
