Sew Regrets

(Although this may be pushing the issue a bit . . . )

Denim Deluxe –

Limericked Rants on a Shared Pair of Pants

If I were a seamstress with skills like my aunt’s,

Adept with a needle and thread at a glance,

I’d sew jeans so strong,

We’d pass them along,

And we could all fly by the seat of our pants.

I’d stitch in some stretch, so the trousers would fit

My circle of friends in the spots where they sit.

The large and the lean

And those in-between

Would wear them in turn, and the seams would not split.

These jeans through adventure we gladly would wear

In comedy, tragedy, fashion and flair.

We’d each take a turn

To linger and learn

While wearing and sharing a single sweet pair.
