T'was in the Eighties I was cute, When last I wore a leisure suit. But twenty years and growing waist Have forced a drastic change in taste. Not white nor red nor green nor black -- I own no polyester slacks. (I hesitate to ask what prompted THAT question. ![]() |

I noticed I left the 'i' out of the word question in my title.. Do you ever wonder if someone will answer an out of the ordinary question? LOL So ... tested a theory and discovered an answer! |

This is totally off track but did Ron's poem sound like Dr. Suess? Sheesh, I am just having one of those days? LOL Ron does not own pants of white, Sometimes he might wear khaki. Give this man some credit now He knows that polyester's tacky. ![]() [This message has been edited by Mysteria (11-21-2003 06:55 PM).] |

I went to this really cool pub (hotel) a little while ago and its all decorated retro. It was great to see all the things around that I grew up with. After the lunch rush the staff do a fashion show. Out comes all the polyester and crimpolene. Its really scarey cause I remember wearing some of that stuff. ![]() Dee Stand straight and tall, not the reflection as others see you, but as you truely are. Clearwater |

Sigh. I try to be good I really do, but faced with poetic answers, I have to respond in kind. Please take this with a smile - *** We’re in the new millennium You’re still cute, at least to some Though rounder and a little older This girl wishes you would hold her This isn’t fiction, it’s the facts I’ll take with or without slacks! ![]() |

![]() White polyester slacks are still in style, Now I hope to make that clear By heading down to Florida And asking the Balladeer? Most golfers down in Florida, Wear white slacks upon the green. If you’ve seen men in Florida golfing, You’d know just what I mean. ![]() I think I better explain this thread, Before it gets out of hand, It all started with a dream of mine That really was quite grand. ![]() Florida is where my dream took place. There was this handsome older man. He bumped into our Poet Devine In this dream, it was not our Nan! He sent her books a flying Quickly picking them up he said, “I’ve been waiting for this moment, Pinch me so I know that I’m not dead!” She pinched him all right she did, In the seat of his white polyester pants, And there she felt the hardest thing ~ Good grief, the man had butt implants! He said, “Now you know my secret, I hope to make this clear, I wouldn’t give up this butt, but for you So just say the word my dear!" She up and pushed him in a puddle, His pants of white now black! Man I hate those retro dreams, In the life of this insomniac. ![]() Ron, this thread has been such fun, Sorry you weren't the man in my dream. But ... I bet your butt in pants of white Would the cutest butt we’ve seen? C’mon in now all, and join the fun, Poetically, let’s hear it loud and clear, Sharon’s got Ron writing poetry To protect his butt it’s clear.

Who says the new millennium is new for all us older PiPs? Bell bottoms on Miss Heidi Klum? And Brittney's pants are hugging hips? The change in clothes is zero-sum, as styles of old again eclipse the age-old goal that men succumb to promise of a woman's lips. My polyester days are spent and clothes are not what still attract, but hugs will never cause dissent, with or without 'fore-mentioned slacks. |

It’s true that fashions tend to be Reborn for each generation But when will showing underwear Stop being a fascination The guys today seem to think It’s cute to show their undies They wear pants that are too big That hug not hips but knees A hug can be a delicious treat When given with much affection With or without your slacks I’m sure yours are perfection! |

No pants around the knees for me; Even the thought is such a scare! I'd look like Michael at the tee, his polyester white aglare, save the slacks would be illusory since I don't wear underwear. ![]() |

No underwear for the Wiz? The thought sends me reeling Polyester or corduroy Each now sounds so appealing That you would admit this Kind sir, no boxer or jockey Make me think that you are More than a little bit cocky! |

Attitudes not withstanding (which I admit can't be denied) I beg your kind understanding -- my reason is not as implied. My lack of apparent decorum wasn't meant to be so exposed, but it's just like in the forums -- I'm waiting for "soon" to wash clothes. |

What mundane reason given For your intended unbaring Twas my imagination that Lept to conclusion daring I guess it’s time you brought me Thudding back down to earth But you understand how much I enjoy sharing a bit of mirth! Don’t leave! This is just starting We’ll discuss detergents and bleach There is so much we could share If we both learn and both teach |

Did someone mention cleaning products? Oh my gosh, they are my favorite things. Even, a can of Pledge excites me And the shine it always brings. I love to vacuum rugs See all the vacuum lines, People avoid the fresh, neat pattern It’s my theory, not Einstein’s. Now I adore doing laundry, But Ron’s hint was not anticipated However, I will give it a go, And do my laundry butt naked! [This message has been edited by Mysteria (11-22-2003 06:11 PM).] |

I'm sure your neighbors watch while Mysteria's houseworking and laundry day is cause for a lot of social smirking Let's hope you own a washer and a dryer in your flat so you don't do your laundry at the local laundromat! |

Well I will have you know No one here washes clothes that way, We all wash them outside in a tub Then, hang them out all day. The water here is really hard Thinking of importing water in. I hear water’s soft in Michigan But there I don’t have any kin *so sad* It’s told they do their laundry Mostly all of them, in the buff. Only own two pair of underwear, Everyday and church ones are enough! I wonder how I can get some of that water, From that great state of Michigan? I don’t think wanting to be comfortable While washing is a sin? [This message has been edited by Mysteria (11-22-2003 06:08 PM).] |

You could send your laundry to Ron by UPS make sure to include that lovely flowered dress! Perhaps we'll take a road trip An RV is all it takes and we can do our laundry in one of Michigan's lakes |

He owns no polyester slacks His verse I vouch to be the facts Bread pudding topped with soft ice cream Has led to wider waistly seams… He wears his fuzzies all day long Elastic waistbands holding strong… But some are also tied with string Though they don’t seem to hold a thing… His laundry’s hung up on the door The closet’s really such a chore Because instead the TV’s there! This is the truth, it is, I swear… The laundry sits in motley piles Upon the rug and bathroom tiles He’ll wash it “soon,” cuz you know what? The winter cold will freeze his butt |

Sounds to me Ron lives in sweats Now I bet that is a fact, If consuming goodies and ice cream, They certainly expand and retract. We all wear fuzzies all day long, I’m glad he keeps his covered! ![]() Maybe that’s why he watches his tv In his clothing cupboard? Most men are messy, as you know Dropping laundry all over the place At least he puts his into piles, Leaves him more computer space. “Soon” seems like forever, For Ron to get things done, But I will say this for him indeed, His sense of humor’s a lot of fun! There’s a bare butt in Michigan Now there’s a name for a poem, I think I will have to research that, “Knock, knock…anybody home?” ![]() |

Methinks the Wizard needs a maid To handle some of these tasks It’s said I am most capable I’m ready if he asks No river washing for this maid I’ll buy a Maytag machine And use my favorite brand of Tide And get those fuzzies clean |

Last summer I was playing golf Somewhere in Michigan And saw the strangest sight, my friends, Yet seen by any man. I saw a fellow hit a ball That bounced off seven trees Then hit old Bessie in the head And brought her to her knees. The ball then hit the turnpike, Smacked a Chevy passing by Which knocked it right back on the course.. I thought that I would die!! The ball then skipped across a lake And hit that darned flagpole So hard the ball just dropped straight down And finished in the hole!!! "My God!", I screamed. "Did you see that!?" I screamed, incredulously. "Oh, sure", my caddy answered me, "It happens frequently." "The man's a legend in this town, The best you'll ever see. He runs a little poetry site The folks call P.I.P." "Don't try to play golf like he does. They don't teach that in college. 'Round here his talent's got a name.. We call it Carnell knowledge." |

That game of golf that Mike reports was just a little experiment, a marriage of slide rule and sports ... with maybe just a few rules bent? A nine iron with a keyboard was about all it really took, but attaching a mouse and its cord simply did wonders for my hook. I programmed all those holes-in-one with some rhyme and iambic code, a few if-then's, a looping sum, and math that almost overflowed. But it really wasn't all that great in spite of that which 'Deer composed. I had to reboot the whole back eight, lost strokes I blame on dang Windows. The nineteenth hole was worst of all, I never should have been so rash. I spilled my Scotch on club and ball, and caused my first hard driver crash. Golf, so I fear, is not my game; I figure I'm just too nerdy. So cruel and mean, golf soon would seem, when Mike told me he shot a birdie. I still need to find my own sport, a more suitable way to relax. Chasing your balls just isn't the sort of thing we should do in white slacks. |

![]() So it took a game of golf in rhyme to play your round in iambic time. Seems to me you've parred the course, or is that a suit of clothes on another horse? ![]() |

So Ron, if golfing is not your thing In those slacks of pearly white, Let’s invent a use for them - I’m thinking with all my might. Ah I can see it now, clear as a bell, Ron the waiter at your service. Oh my goodness you poor guy, You surely do look nervous. Sweat is forming on your brow, And what a peculiar stance? What the heck are you doing? Is that the “chicken dance?” Laughter’s filling up the room, Tears are running down my cheeks I haven’t had a laugh like this, In I don’t know how many weeks. He’s yelling, “Help! It’s the darn white pants!” Could he possibly get any louder? I'm laughing so hard I can hardly stand, I filled the pockets with itching powder!” [This message has been edited by Mysteria (11-24-2003 09:45 PM).] |

We need to find a sport for you Something to do in white slacks Because, my dear, you really do Need to take some time and relax Bowling? Well, that’s one thing If you like life in an alley But if the ball slips away After a gutter ball you will rally! Maybe your game should be Played with a cue and balls There is a green and little holes Right there in those pool halls Of course in Michigan there is A winter sport with much passion But unfortunately you’ll find White slacks are not in fashion Warm leather gloves on your hands A stocking cap and mukluks A woolen coat in shades of plaid Waterproof undies like the ducks And there you sit all day long In a hut on a frozen lake Ice fishing can be a good sport If cold weather you can take So maybe we need to think on this Come and sit here by the fire We’ll discuss the state of your pants And the sport that you desire. |
