Changing Pants
I hate to change a pair of pants.
I sigh and view the things as
kance.
I change my wallet, watch, and
keys,
And belt and buckle, if you
please,
And after checking through and
through,
I'm off with other things to do.
What e’re the care I exercise
At times I must apologize.
“I'm sorry, but it isn’t there.
I guess it's in the other pair.’’
