Old Men's Socks

Old fat men bring lots of shocks
not knowing they are laughing stocks
with old plaid short and black dress shoes
and knee length socks of varied hues.
 
My daughters helped me head this off
with a weird stare and a big fake cough.
then let me know with an impish smile
that this was not the latest style.
 
When wearing shorts I have no socks
upon my feet inside my crocs
and with a smug look I will stare
at short-wearing men standing there.
 
If they only had children to warn
that those ugly socks shouldn’t be worn
then they could look cool like I do
and not like animals at the zoo.

This fine piece reminds me of senior men living here in Phoenix. They wear those ridiculous plaid short pants and no socks. I liked this writing Larry because I can relate to it very easily.


GOD BLESS YOU

Very cute Larry. I never believed my kids, but I have a new flame in my life and I trust her judgment... she won't say unless I ask. Does this shirt go with these shorts? Can I wear white socks with brown sneakers? She really doesn't care, but she will give an opinion when asked... Dick
