Ridiculous Looks 

November 30, 2023

If you have pants paranoia,

Sorry, I’ve got bad news for ya. 

Wearing a belt and suspenders 

Flags security pretenders. 

Humans invented the shoe 

To keep toes from turning blue. 

If it’s cold enough for socks, 

Leave your sandals in a box. 

When daily temperatures drop 

For wearing shorts it’s time to stop. 

Some think short pants in winter is cool

But it just makes you look a fool. 

Over time, blue jeans wear and fray, 

But many buy them new that way. 

It’s like a new car with bad brakes. 

Did they leave their brains in the jakes? 

Going out in pajama pants and slippers,

In a concert hall dressed to use hedge clippers,

Wearing sweat pants not at the gymnasium,

Shows low class and taste from a poor cranium.
