Yesterday's Underwear

    The other day I went to the mall
    by myself
    just to look around.
    It was a lazy Saturday afternoon
    and I hadn't done laundry yet
    so I had just slipped on those ever-so-comfy jeans
    I wore yesterday.
    But I didn't notice that yesterday's underwear
    was still inside one pant leg.
    So, as I was walking through the mall
    I was mildly surprised to kick that pair of underwear
    at some unsuspecting gentleman
    waiting outside Penny's on a bench.
    He kindly returned them to me
    but not before a close inspection

      an every so close inspection
    and as I tried to thank him without blushing
    he asked me if that trick came in handy at parties.
    And I said I'd have to try it

    ``Well,'' he said, ``you sure got my attention.''

    So I wrote a note to self
    thought maybe I'd write this up in an article some day
    for posterity:

      Meeting Men---Way Number 147
      Be creative with your underwear.
