Skirts

At times, I might be in the mood for a skirt; On other occasions, it’s pants. Having such options, I needn’t alert Anyone to my pick in advance. I like wearing skirts – they feel flirty and fun And remind me of dressier days. When my working career I had newly begun, I was part of a skirt or dress phase. For I wasn’t permitted to dress up in slacks; Females had to look proper and prim. We accepted it then, though at present it smacks Of the rules many women found grim. But today I can wear anything that I choose And in skirts sometimes I find my voice. I feel sorry for men, ‘cause in this case they lose For they aren’t allowed the same choice.

I'm all for choice; men ought to be able to wear skirts. They just have to learn to keep their knees together.

Enjoyable read ilene. Of course, there is always the kilt for us men --- well, some of us, anyways. Although I am all for women's emancipation and equality, I do love those who hang onto their femininity and continue to don the dress and skirt. After all, how else can I be accussed of being a skirt chaser if they are not in fashion any more? Thanks for sharing this. Joe
