Shorter Than Short Shorts

Watching young girlies walk by in the mall
Can still get a rise out of me
With their shorter than short shorts and halter tops
Tsk, tsk, thinking bad thoughts, are we?

Just purely for their copious youthful energy
This exuberant younger generation
It's got nothing to do with gawking or ogling
Tsk, tsk, think I succumb to titillation?

Really much more sophisticated than that
My sweetie would tell you, just ask her
In fact, there are many times I even look away
Tsk, tsk, think I'm a child molester?

Now just like every other of earth's male inhabitants
I admit I enjoy nice scenery
Especially shorter than short shorts and halter tops
Tsk, tsk, thinking bad thoughts, are we?

Too funny - I remember reading this one before. I like your use of "nice scenery" - clever! Always, Laura

I love to see the young folks having a good time and laughing....a few firm muscles don't hurt either.
