Ripped Jeans

Do the clothes make the man
Or the man make the clothes?

New to ripped jeans 
The King held his nose

Laughed the Queen, Silly man!
  ~ Then showed off her tan

Sometimes, seeing them, I feel people are crazy..... ! But those such craze will see me as an outdated old crone.... after all clothes and fashions are one of individual choice.....

If you're a crone, then I'm a 'crony.' Of course, I wore blue jeans from 18 - 22. Never wore 'em before or since though. ~ Real Pants Man

Nice fun rhyming couplets, Gershon. Keep them coming! I am not a fan of torn and ripped jeans that are brand new, but we live in a changing world. To each his, hers or whomevers own. Bill

Yes, after all, it was us(?) boomers that made blue jeans into a religion. (Even those a little older than me -- I'm about 72 -- thrived on White Levis, as I recall. So, everything gets recycled anyway, including fashion styles. Spot-on comment, Bill.

No holes in your humor:) -- perfect! lol. My wife hates them. I have several, only because they are old and comfortable. I tell her that I am in style. She, herself always the fashion plate. Joe.

Your jeans have REAL holes -- holes from jeans which 'paid their dues!' Not like the fake designer jeans the slaves to fashion snap up...

Gershon, I loved this rhyme. Pure fun. When we went to school, heaven forbid if you had torn jeans. These days, you pay $300 for a pair of ripped jeans. This is a totally different generation. Thanks for the smile. Well written, Blessings ~ Debra

$300 for a pair of ripped Jeans?! That's what designer jeans used to fetch on the black market in the former Soviet Union. Oh, well. Anything to be 'different,' I suppose. -- Of course, when young people all wear ripped jeans, then no one is different from anyone else. Therein lies the rub. Smiles, gw

My uncle hated when my cousin wore jeans, let alone ripped jeans…what happened to patches. Now they’ve added distressed sweaters. Where have all the pretty clothes gone…boo hoo!

'Distressed sweaters?!' I guess you couldn't have made that one up. What's next?? ~ Fashion Fails, gw

I keep thinking, do royalty actually go to the beach to get a tan, or do they have built-in tanning beds all over the palace? Hmm. Just wondering. Cheerio G.W.!!..ab

Right, without batting an eye, they sure can! I hope they tip well, Haha...ab

Anselmo, I've been pondering your question as well myself. I think that they bring the beach to the royals. After all, with a 58 million pounds sterling salary to work with (as of 2018!), the Royal Family can truly say: "Money is no object." lol :) gw
