Alien Dancing Pants

It was a day like no other,
A day like none before,
The day I discovered Alien Dancing Pants,
In a pile upon my floor.

They were purple with gold stitching,
They felt silky and oh so smooth,
And the moment I put them around my bits,
My hips began to move.

My feet suddenly had rhythm,
I danced dances I did not know,
With the washer I did the lambada,
With the cooker I danced the tango,

The magic in the pants was outstanding,
My feet just would not stop,
Yet when I grew tired of dancing,
The pants just wouldn't come off!

I tried to prise them off with a stick,
But the pants just wouldn't budge,
I tried every kind of lubricant,
From grease to chocolate fudge.

But the pants weren't having none,
The alien underwear was here to stay,
It told me it would take over the world,
The pants we would all obey!

I had to get the pants off,
It was all that was on my mind,
I knew I couldn't live another day,
With Alien Dancing Pants around my behind,

I tried to bribe them with money,
I tortured them with hot coals,
But the pants hung on to my particulars,
And began to attack my soul.

I had to take drastic measures,
The pants were becoming too tight,
So when I thought they weren't looking,
I blew them up with dynamite.

The pants somehow survived the onslaught,
But they were injured and chose to retreat,
Yet the pants still posed a threat,
Those pants I would have to defeat.

So I went at them with a baseball bat,
Attacking the groin and stitching,
After five minutes of wanton pummelling,
The pants were crumpled and twitching.

Then in my moment of exultation,
As I was lost in a victory yell,
The pants managed to escape me,
Where they went I could not tell.

Now mankind was in danger,
The pants their defeat would avenge,
I knew from my dastardly dealings with them,
Those pants would be back for revenge!

Mankind, alas, would not listen,
My pleas to humanity were in vain,
They thought me a babbling madman,
I was bonkers, loopy, insane.

Yet you may choose to laugh at me,
And ignore my yells and rants,
But one thing you must never underestimate,
Is the evil of Alien Dancing Pants.

They're off and they're coming for YOU!

I really like this! It made me laugh...a take-off of the old classic dancing shoe story.  Good job!

Very refreshingly different and pleasantly twisted.  Welcome and good work.

ROFL hahahahahaha!!



i'm glad to hear
your mind is clear,
and the pants made their escape!
those Cling-ons can be
a pain in the butt
when they're stuck on with velcro tape!

butt i'm not scared of alien pants
unless the panting is in my ear....
i wouldn't like THAT circumstance,
no Cling-ons on me, my dear.

hehe... great pome, welcome to the blue pages

I imagine these pants probably have some shoes that go with them, which will hopefully kick the next poetic piece into production...

well done, and Welcome to Passions!

What a kick in the pants!
LOL at those alien pants, and glad I didn't see any on the floor on laundry day.
A funny beginning, give us more.

I'm glad there are poetry boards like this one.  Some that you go on can be really up their own bums when it comes to poetry and really hate my stuff.  Well, it's their loss (and I just wind them up even more by ignoring them and continue being a joyful, doggerel poet much to their chagrin!)

Thanks for all your comments, do try to drop by the site sometime.

Grubbymitts

A little static cling and a sheet of bounce up a leg or two would be enough to make anybody dance.  Maybe that's what I should try, I might get a little rhythm then.
I loved this one.  Had me rolling. I broke a hip.  Anyway, Welcome to Passions.  Keep us laughing or crying.

Hey and Welcome, (I bet you haven't heard that yet! j/k)
Anyway no need to worry about me
I am pretty sure if I saw purple pants
with gold stitching that I would very much
hide!
It's great to have ya around
people can always deal with a little
comedy with their tragedy!
Great job!
And no doubt I will see-ya around!

We need to send these things to Washington.  It might give those elected officals a different kind of exercise.  *S*
