An Ode To Good Underwear

One of the simple things that matter.

There was once a time, not so long ago,

Before one would sit, and the earth would hear their scream,

The young would never truly know,

How important to others some things might seem,

For them, things have not begun to change,

And all good things they think will always be the same,

Even old cowboys headed out to the range,

Begin to fear the effects when they hear gravity's name,

What value is there in the quality of such things,

Supportive underwear is worth a bar of gold,

For no man wants to sit on his balls and ding ding,

So replace them old shorts when the start to get old.

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

    Very good! Men do seem to hang on to underwear a bit too long. We have three men in our house and I often see pants with holes. I'll have to show them all this.😂😁💙👍😊

  • And as mom always used to say, "Put on a clean pair in case you're in an accident."
