DON`T HANG YOUR PANTIES ON THE LINE

 

DON`T HANG YOUR PANTIES ON THE LINE

 

Don`t hang your panties on  the line

All the dogs and kids in town

Know the signs and all too well

Don`t play those games like kids

 

Men and women know the words

Take my hand she says

He says your fine

Games of chess are for the birds

 

Don`t hang your panties on the line

Unless your in school

And don`t have time

For simple language it`s still cool

Hiya Mr. :]s
I was reviewing some of my work here and wanted to thank you or again for your very motivating comments on my various posts.
I really appreciate it, Thanks1

.... in reading this little delight, it occurred to me that you also might be accused of being a natural, complete with the proverbial no.2 stub in yer pocket ... for your interpretation.....
which, ... i don't know, you seem an awful lot like some of them old buckaroos that used to come around at gathering time, amazing me with their abilities with pocket knives and old pistols, and challenging my manhoodedness out there chasing some crazy red cow with a calf in the freezing rain on a big rockslide at 5500 feet above sea level.

Hopefully I'll be writing some new stories, I have indeed been out doing a bit of gathering, of a much more challenging type... you know, living in places where noone in their right mind would even consider .... lol ...
Good times, Be well.

The craft and line to the poem is simple, seemingly effortless, which belies the amount of effort which no doubt went into making it so. It is beautiful, simple and deceptively complex. Lovely work.

I really don't know what to think of this piece...the title pulled me to review it. However, it sounds a bit immature in the word choice and the meaning.

But, maybe that is the irony in this after all...

hm, maybe you have to be Irish to understand the "hanging panties on the line game" ... But i admit it has something seductive, a bit of the "Thomas Crown affair", but here the birds are playing chess ... hm, very mysterious

Nice piece of work! Truly enjoyed reading this, "games of chess are for the birds"
Holds so much truth, I use a similar phrase in my life all the time, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

Suck it up buttercup, don't get your knickers in a knot time to be a grown up. At least that is what I took away from this quirky poem.

I sucked it up and it was good. The review that is.
Will not even try to explain what motivated that piece of tripe.
But, anytime you review me the world is a better place.
Thank you,
