Cuffs

At protests in the 60's We were dragged away in cuffs. The cops arrested everyone - The peaceniks and the toughs. As we grew up, the only cuffs Were those found on our pants. Designers did determine when Those bottoms would enhance. The senior years have now arrived And cuffs are all the rage As we strap them on and pump them So our pressure* we can gauge. *blood pressure

Did you purposefully omit the cuffs we wore on shirts decades ago? I still have a jewelry box full of them, but who buys the shirts that require cuffs these days? / M
