Do You Iron Your Jeans

When I was young my mum ironed my jeans With my clean underwear on I thought I looked keen But as I grew older and had to look after myself Ironing your jeans was a sign of wealth So I didn't iron them to give that lived in hook When I found that I had a hip new look Where it was simple just to wash them And put them on with no need for sloppiness to defend But sometimes being drip dry would my scene Walking around in them wet after they were clean So they are a versatile garment of many uses Just don’t iron them or make any neatness excuses. © Paul Warren Poetry
