They Have Disappapeared In A Generation

tjmjr 2010.02.08 22:42 1 0

 

On even Darwin it wouldn't dawn

That in one generation

Young men's waits and butts

Could be gone

 

And without a butt

Flat-assed gone

There's nothing left

To hold their pants up

 

Their underwear by brand

Hangs on defying gravity

With the help of

An elastic band

 

You have to give it a hand

It's hiding an unsightly crack

Below a bony back

And pencil-leged baggy cuffs

 

The pants are anywhere

From half-mast to falling

I guess we have to thank God

Underwear is there

      Humorous thought about underwear with elastic fitting well against evolution and gravitation too! Fantastic poem, friend!
