Who would have thought, or ever guessed
Charlie Chaplin's pants would inspire
A trend to be well-dressed
By wearing pants below the ass-pire?
The penguin walk is made more of a roll
One hand must be never occupied!
It must be ready to keep control
So drawers can be from top down eyed.
And if it happens that the pants go to low,
Oh, my, what will be the outcome?
Never mind, too long we've expected the show
And expectation makes reality humdrum.
