Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

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.

Maurice Rigoler January 17, 2018 at 6:42 PM 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
