Things my mother taught me....#3 Always leave home in a fresh pair of underpants.

Perhaps not what mum meant.

Warning: will be viewed by some as puerile and rude.

January Lazy Writers.

Things my mother taught me….#3 Always leave home in a fresh pair of underpants.

Piss stained boxers,
Skiddy briefs,
Dirt stiff smalls with flash motif:
Make sure they’re clean
When you go out
In case you drop ‘em and hear a shout….

‘Dear god, get back,
Cover up that skid.
Don’t you wipe when you get rid?
Your Y-front’s stiff
And slightly yellow
Does urine drip from your old fellow?’

So Lotharios,
Do take note
If you want to keep your boat afloat
Keep them ironed
Keep them clean
Keep them fresh and women keen.

My Lothario days are long gone, but the advice is still valid. 
 
How does one avoid the odd misshap though? Where do such tragic events fit into the great continuum of disaster? 
 
Elicited a wry smile - thanks for that Phil!

All good 'clean' advice and Mother always knew best ! 
Very amusing but maybe not for the front page of The Times? 
all the best

I don't know what you mean! 
 
Thanks for reading.

Who knows what lies beneath the surface? There's probably a parallel poem to be written about knickers but I don't think I'll go there!

Hi Phil, 
 
Another cracker from you... Personally, I think this is a very interesting angle to take. Very good lesson wrapped in a very good poem. 
 
VBW,

How refreshing ( excuse the pun) some light hearted humour.
