PANTS
By Talisker
26 April 2007
This is dedicated to my ex-wife, Weasel, who chastised me, a mere man, for hanging the underpants to the outside of the rotary dryer outside Oli mansions.  Now I know, pants to the inside, towels to hide, but still I fail to understand.

I opined that if our neighbours are so devoid of entertainment, I will gladly put out the deck chairs and compere the show...

P.S. Weasel's pants were of the utilitarian variety, mine verge on the Jesuit.

The throng assembles

a murmur as of distant bees

a frisson of expectation

a fumbling of souvenir programs

then…

 

Ladles and jelly-spoons

we have today, for your;

 

delectation!!

 

a rumble of delight

a modicum of frustration

a fug of pent-up sexual tension, tangible

a frisk

a frottage

a furtive frou-frou

 

edification!!

 

Too much!!  The cry…

Too much!!

Give us denoument!!

We can hold back no longer!!

 

Gratification!!

 

a thud

a gasp

a cry

Three have gone off,

half-cocked

dropped from perches

like parrots

with coronary infarctions

 

Yet as with life

this must go on…

 

LET’S GET READY TO FUMBLE!!!

 

WITHOUT FUTHER ADO!!!

 

PANTS!

Strangely enough Oli

Most women who have spent a lifetime washing out men's pants, don't easily get turned on by them any more. I called it a full-stop when my father asked me to darn his long-johns because he had come through the war years when you never threw anything away. I really did care if the neighbours saw his pants with patches on them etc. I bought him some good thermals and sent him the bill. That really put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Enjoyed this Oli. I think you should hang them out with pride: holes, stains, the lot.

So basically, what you're saying is: Knickers to Weasel?
