 ramblings and things

smallstepsmadpotepotriemantheartfulcodgerscogspeaksvolumes


I suppose it’s a sign of age

to yearn for times long gone

but I really do miss those days

when shirt tails were long.


They curled around nether regions

thus keeping in the heat 

and incidentally making

the waistline look more neat.


Modern shirts and hipster jeans

are constantly letting in the cold

and exposing naked flesh,

ok for the young and bold;


But the old fashioned keks

with that higher waist line

and longer shirt tails

kept the heat in just fine.


I’m fed up of builders bums,

hipsters downward ride

always letting in cold air 

and chilling the backside.


I dont give a fig

for any fashion trend

if that means having

a cold rear end.


Oh my memories of long

tailled shirts are so heartfelt

but I’ll just soldier on,

my trews hoisted up by my belt.


I guess it’s just a sign of age,

this yearning for things long gone

so I’ll just gird up my loins

and try slowly to move on.
