Today, Thursday 9th October 2008 is National Poetry Day, as I was reminded by my lovely friend Almost Mrs Average over at The Rubbish Diet.
Anyone who has read me for a while knows I dabble in poetry mostly of the daft kind, so I thought I’d share some with you today just for fun. The only trouble is that sometimes, when you sit down to write something that is time bound to a certain degree it is not always easy to find inspiration. So I had a brain wave…
And if you’re thinking ‘trousers’ you’re wrong, we’re British so she meant of course the bum covering kind.
So without further ado I give you, pants.
A Message for Celebrities about Pants
I love my pants they’re cute and smart
They keep my bottom snug
And if I fall and flash my butt
I don’t feel like a mug
No laughing eyes, embarrassed sighs
or hiding in the bushes.
Yes it’s good to have a covering
to spare my cheeks their blushes.
By Jo Beaufoix
Yeah, I know, it’s a bit pants itself, but I am not feeling that creative vibe too much today.
However, Mr B and Miss E also decided to take the pants challenge. I didn’t ask Miss M as the word ‘pants’ is associated with far too many other words that she is already obsessed with, but here are Mr B and Miss E’s efforts;
Pants
Small pants, slinky pants
Pants as big as your head
It’s a good job that’s not where you wear them…
by Mr B.
Yeah I know, he’s weird.
And this is Miss E’s effort.
Big pants,
Small pants,
Medium sized pants.
Boxers,
Bloomers,
and all that stuff,
Red pants that are purple,
Pants that are green like a turtle.
Pants are pants.
Literally.
Sighhh, I am so proud. Aren’t you glad we did this?
(You don’t have to answer that.)
Oh and I found this fab site where there are the cutest cartoons you can use such as this:
and this:
Are they not fabulous? And she also does really cute T-Shirts too.
Anyway, as it’s National Poetry day here in the UK, if any of you are inspired to leave me a poetry or pants based comment, or any other kind then please do, they can’t be worse than our attempts.

Pants pants pants
Small enough for ants.
“I love your gorgeous pants”
Say the sychophants.
Pants will make you dance
If you’re from the north by chance.
If you’re southern in your stance,
By rights you should say “parnts”,
So you’d better stick to “knickers”
Or else they’ll think you’re thick as
TWO SHORT PANTS.
You did invite me…

Loving Miss E’s poem. Literally! x

oh how i love my underpants
they do not make me think “i can’ts”
if i ran out of all my pairs,
i’d surely pull out all my hairs
so leave me with my pile of undies
which i lounge in all day sundays
yeah that’s all i got.

I love a pair of pink pants,
A G-string or a knicker,
But don’t give me a huge pant
‘Cos it will make folks snicker.
Sorry. As some one else said – you did invite me!

giggling over here reading these poems. I am so not able to come up with anything witty right now though.
Loved Miss E’s….especially the “red ones that are purple” part. too funny!

undies make me giggle
knickers make me laugh
step ins make me gaga
but bikini ones are a blast!
Cute post Miss J

This morning Pickle did her school book journal/report on the book Pants by Giles Andreae. It is a particular favourite in our house. Next week – MORE pants also by Giles Andreae!
Pants RULE!

Tee hee…I think I’ve just proven my maturity level is much lower than I thought by virtue of how long I giggled over all that.

I am considered quite thrifty . One day my girlfriendCindy did the wash and when I returned home she was hoding up a piece of elastic and she said, “I thinkit’s time to purchase new panties”haahah

I have stickers
in my knickers,
they’re from the store I bought them in,
and sometimes when I’m really dumb,
I stick them on my bum.
