Pants are Silly
Pants are silly. Really!
Dresses make more sense.
Pants just cut a bloke in two,
Each leg refers the daily shoe,
They fit too slim, they fit too wide,
They crease and scratch and pinch inside.
Consider, too, the names[1] they wear
(Dignified? Mais, au contraire!)[2]:
Jeans and knickers, trews and britches,
. . . . . . .
[1] Can you think of other names for pants? No? Then that is your homework: listen to conversations big people have when they are ignoring you, especially if those big people are tailors or “fashionistas” (which is illegal in Mexico), or search in books or on the internet to find more funny names for pants. Then use them in conversation, and giggle outrageously for hours.
[2] Pronounced “may oh contrayer” by Texans, this phrase is French for “Psh. Whatever!”
