Full Moon Thugs

punk kids sagging pants
no belt needed tonight guys
gonna be a full moon bright
fools showing off jewels
khakis fall past crack of Don
wave of cops demand "PANTS UP"



*this poem was written for Russell Sivey's Contest--- What Happens During A Full Moon? and is a special ode to all the youngsters who feel the need to express themselves by wearing pants 3 times too large that sag around the crest of their buttocks in public*----by~ JSLAMBERT

Sometimes when I see this I must hide my laughter, one fellow even dropped pants to the knees ,just pulled them up and kept going. Great take on the new generation. Anne.

mad poem. ive heard that the wearing of trousers especially by blacks is from a time way back when money was scarse and the younger children would be handed down the older brothers clothes thus allways being to big and obviously the bigger and baggy,er the trousers the bigger the brother you had..........how true that is i dont know but its got a kind of poeticness to it that allways makes me smile lol. mad poem tho.....
