Old As Dirt

How old are you?
Old as dirt
When I was young
Men wore skirts

Guys bent over
Showing Big Ben
Didn't wear Jockey's
Way back when

Men were rugged
And ladies demure
No skin showing
But still had allure

Just goes to prove
Defining what's hot
Is what we imagine
Not what we've got

Forgive us guys
It's how we're built
But you've been seen
Looking up our kilt

The moral is this
Believe it or not
Men chase women
Till us guys get caught!

That's a good one... I'm well covered but not demure... I don't want to scare anyone... LOL... I caught my Hubby 34 years ago... Do you think it's OK if I let him out of the bottle now... He says it's a bit stuffy down there... LOL
