Pajama Day

My grandkids have Pajama Day
From time to time in school,
So everyone wears PJ’s,
Which the kids find very cool.

I really don’t quite get it, though,
To wake up and to keep
The outfit on that you just wore
All night while fast asleep.

And even if you change into
Fresh PJ’s, I suppose
They can’t be much more comfy 
Than most routine school day clothes.

When I was young, Pajama Day
Would’ve made a lot more sense,
For I can cite my skirts and tights
And shoes as evidence.

But outfits worn today by kids -
The leggings and the sweats -
Are just about as comfortable 
As clothing ever gets.

How times have changed Ilene, clothes today are made for comfort, jeans and a loose t-shirt will do. Tom

Oh, this was so great. The rhyme and picture of a classroom full of pajama clad kids was hilarious. We had Sadie Hawkins Day during which we were allowed to wear jeans instead of skirts or dresses. How times have changed!
