SKIRTS OR PANTS
Now after looking for painted toe nails
what else could I do?
I know, compare the number of dresses
to pants that come to view,
Nice dress pants, slacks, different stages of
decaying jeans I saw,
But quite a few pretty dresses and skirts
from the subway did pour.
From ankle length all the way up in steps
to showing underwear,
From extremely tight fitting to very wide
skirts with a flair.
Not to mention slits front, side and back
good legs to show,
As through the busy streets many people
rushed to and fro.
Many different patterns, no two dresses
were at all alike
Even slacks were different counting
legs riding a bike.
There were a few short shorts to be seen,
cute collets as well,
I wonder if from women’s clothing their
character you can tell?
Then one piece of clothing I saw,
a skoort! that looked so well
On a pretty young woman walking quickly
past me, please tell
Which category does that fit in?
A dilemma I do see,
For from the back a pair of shorts or
so it seems to me
And from the front although quite short
is a pretty little skirt,
The more I think about it the more my
poor brain does hurt.
