Notes About The Poem

Someone needs to slap these kids in the head...(lol) It really is disgusting how they wear their clothes. As far as the colored hair, I'm good with that. Just be careful, if you slap your children these days, you may end up with a law suit. Gees

Purple Hair and Droopy Pants

Streaks of pink and purple...blended through their hair 
A fashion fad, of days of new...the young generation wear 
Drooping pants that show their butt...the "In thing" for some teens 
Disgustingly worn; pull them up...that's the way to wear those jeans 
When we were young, we wore our knickers...fit below our knees 
Not like the kids wear their clothes these days, c'mon, really...gees 
But fads will always change and styles will come and go 
Imagine fifty years from now... heck, "I don't really even want to know"

G'day Charles … I used to gaze at my son and shake my head, but then I saw visions of my Mum and Dad. Fashions and fads come and go as they follow the circle I guess Charles. It's social media that concerns me - well done Charles - Lindsay

I wouldn't want to know either but, I hope it's something akin to actually, wearing those clothes. Funny.
