Poetry Challenge #151-Tidy Whities Unite!
Today is a day dedicated to mentioning unmentionables—specifically underwear: bloomers, nickers, pantaloons, briefs, boxers, tidy-whities. . . whatever you call what you wear under your outer clothes.
“Underwear of some kind appear in nearly every culture.”
Back in the Middle Ages (400AD-1400AD) men sported undies more like string bikinis than tidy-whities.
As for the lady of the castle: a bra is a bra is as my grandmother called it, “torture device,” the earliest existing example of which is about 600 years old.
Poetry Challenge #151
Tidy Whities Unite
In honor of National Underwear Day (Aug 5, 2020), write a brief poem about undies.
By brief meaning: A poem using no more than five words per line, and no more than three lines, write a poem about whatever it is you wear under your clothes-- but if you’re one of those who prefers wafting in breezes…call it Commando!
