pants/shorts
On those border days — not too hot,
not too cold &mdash it's Shorts or pants?
that precedes my going-out. But pants
boost (boosts?) my IQ by ten points
at least, I know.
And so I ponder: Why
is a pair of pants also called a pant?
And shouldn't it be a pair of pant legs
anyway? But it wouldn't be an identical
pair, right? No, that would look silly.
That's what I get for wearing pants.
Next time, I'll wear shorts, so I don't
have to think.

ReplyDeleteClever, fun. To personalize those choices, give them an intellect, pair them with the wearer!
