(short, that is)

Attractive in Shorts

in this 21st century,
where life moves in nanoseconds
across microwaves and radio waves,

it seems that writers
are most attractive in shorts

in brevity of mode and mood,
Dude,
long drawn out
‘splanations
are oft seen as rude

funny, tho,
how <‘tis > and < oft >
and contractions
for saving space
travel through it
at a snail’s pace

deemed passé
right away
compared to their
counterparts

strange, don’t you think

however, this is probably the only way
I can begin to be
attractive in shorts

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

LOL...your humor hasn't been wilted by the heat, Virginia. Typically clever of you, witty and to the point...

I find myself looking, more and more, it seems, for good grammar, elocution, spelling, etc. And I can hardly stand to read anyone's newspaper anymore...the errors seem to SCREAM....

This is cute! And true, too, I'm afraid.

Much enjoyed, made me smile. Sometime, short is sooo sweet, though, yes?

I don't look good in shorts either. The boots just don't go with them. I really enjoyed the poem and the message. Well done. It really was a great write.
