Underwear Dilemma

"Mum have I got any clean boxer shorts? 
My son shouted from on the stairs,
He was standing so I couldn't see him,
I didn't know his backside was bare.
I got up to go and get some,
From the clean washing pile,
He yelled "Mum I'm naked!
I just gave him a motherly smile.
"I know it wasn't as hairy back then", I laughed,
"But I've seen your bum before,
"But, Mum I'm twenty-two now", he replied,
Which made me laugh even more.
I must admit,
He gave me quite a surprise,
I didn't see a thing though,
As I promised to close my eyes.
Thank goodness for my eldest son,
He's chased my blues away,
The powers of his bare bum,
Have brightened up my day,

Thanks Chris. It's all true too. He thought I was in work and that's why he came downstairs in his birth day suit.... Hahaha. I think we both got a bit of a surprise :)

Modesty is a virtue is it not? Sounds like a good kid. Must have raised him right, Mrs Kay:) Funny poem.

Thanks you Daniel. I certainly did raise him right. He's a wonderful young man, even though I am slightly biased :)

Hi Jan, he's a lot like me, more often than not he's got a smile on his face :) However, I don't walk round the house like that looking for my underwear... hahaha.
