Hello There, Mister Highpockets

 

By Elton Camp

 

A bad lack of styling sense it certainly transmits

The man whose pants top is nearly to his armpits

And unless from doing this he comes to refrain,

People think something’s wrong with his brain

 

If you happen to know one who dresses this way,

Then give him a full-length mirror to start his day

When he spots his tie hanging two feet below his waist,

Maybe he’ll see that the tops of his pants are misplaced

 

But even if this hint Mr. Highpockets doesn’t take

It’s far better than to make the saggy pants mistake

Opposite extreme is britches that are worn and cut

So they will sag halfway down the wearer’s butt
