Poetic Thursday: Those Shorts

Closing out the month of August with poetry today.  Our Thursday habit is to join our friend, Pam, and her kitties, Teddy and Angel Sammy, at Two Spoiled Cats as they host Poetic Thursday.

This is the photo they gave us for our inspiration:

And here’s my poem:

Those Shorts

Dude, you’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do,
stop right there, let’s have a word or two.

Instead of smelling the flowers you picked by the road,
you need to be helping her with that load.

I guess it’s true that it takes all sorts,
just don’t get me started on those shorts.

Maybe it’s staged, and the photo’s not real,
maybe this guy isn’t really a ‘heel’.

But still….those shorts.
