Riveting

When I’m wearing jeans with rivets,
Which is like a fashion thing,
Does the fact I’m wearing rivets
Make me much more riveting?

I suspect the answer’s equal
To the men all sporting studs.
Sometimes thoughts that feel like firecrackers
Turn out to be duds.

I could not help myself - I think in rhyme. I didn't even bother to write them down prior to posting or save them in my journal Mike

As I sit at my desk dressed all in my sweats This time of the morning, that's as good as it gets If we are defined by the clothes that we wear What about nudists? Should I not go there?

I feel the need to let you know. It's not the rivet's that steal the show. For I don't think we men much care just what's holding together that pair. Peace. :)
