Annual No Pants Subway Ride

8th Annual “No Pants Subway Ride” It’s been brought to my attention There’s a brief one-day suspension Of the requirement to wear your pants and ride It’s an improv-based experiment To show there’s no embarrassment And pants or not, you have no need to hide So this Saturday, the 10th of Jan Be you woman or a man A lovely pair of drawers will hit the spot Ignore the snickers and the stares Act as if you had no cares And ride the train as if you just forgot There’ll be thousands round the world That will leave their pants unfurled And ride the train or metro casually You can join them brave and bold Sans pants as you’ve been told Or once on board, just drop them gradually If you are among the masses Please show no bare assess Wear some drawers in regal dignity If you ride the train this weekend Remember, no fair peekin’ If I see you, pretend you don’t see me! Mdailey 01/08/09 If you want some ideas on what to wear or not to wear and you are not easily offended, check out the No Pants website from last year. There are pictures from the DC Metro as well as from trains and subways around the world. http://improveverywhere.com/2008/01/16/no-pants-2k8/
