Cannot resist Ogden Nash

Ay, deck your lower limbs in pants;
Yours are the limbs, my sweeting.
You look divine as you advance -
Have you seen yourself retreating?

Comments

This article was started to prove a point and is a gag. Russell D. Jones 22:15, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

I disagree with the request for removal. I appreciate that it may have begun as a joke, but trousers are an important article of clothing and have cultural ('who wears the pants?' Graduating from short to long pants as a rite of passage), political (les sans culottes, 'bloomer girls') and religious (gender-specific clothing) significance.
Rather than removing, we should be expanding. Anyone want to join me/prod me into giving it a go?
