Dorky

If asked to define the word “dorky” I guess I'd describe it like this Wearing stripes and checks together A sight you surely can't miss I'm not the ultimate style leader But at least I do have some taste Aside from an occasional style faux pas At times when I dress in haste Never be seen in horn rimmed glasses An extreme example of dorkyness White Adidas with black knee high socks Now that's really hard to digest When mom gets really behind in her chores Hasn't washed my coordinate attire Forced to wear stuff a little bit dorky Not something to which I aspire If asked to define the word “dorky” Usually try to describe it like this Stripes, checks and horn rimmed glasses An example of ignorant bliss

When you get down to it, it really won't solve all the worlds ills, just stay happy in your own little world!!!

Jack, my granddaughter once asked me: "Papa, why did you wear THAT shirt." I replied: "Because it was on top."...
