Amazing what we used to mock,
As youth we consider “off”…
Older now
We realize how,
We, too, have grown soft!
–
In college there was a guy,
From our dorm room we spied…
Wearing shorts
In winter, of course,
Using our dumpster on the sly!
–
This poet is near sixty years,
After all this time it appears,
Wearing shorts
In winter, he sports,
Outside despite his wife’s fears!
