Ode to my pants

Ode to my trousers

Here is a poem

You can read in your browsers

 

Brave Americans took a forthright stance

Against calling them trousers

And named them pants

 

O, loyal pants, you friend of mine

You keep me covered

Where ere I dine

 

You’re tight and stick to me like glue

And without you

What should I do?

 

Even though you might be oddest

You’re always there

To keep me modest

 

Pants, you and I are together

In sunshine or inclement weather

 

But there are pants of devilish design

You put them on

They make you whine

 

For me, no pants that bite

From deepest Hell

As pants too tight

Will make you yell
