What Belt

What Belt?
___________________________________

A belt...
an item meant to be worn around your waist
to hold up pants, shorts, etc...
the uses are numerous, but serves the main purpose.

BUT WAIT...

I saw a belt round the knees,
pants falling
hand to crotch pants holding
walking like they have a load in the drawers
but I seen their drawers too
I know what type they wear
and I think to myself....

What was the point of wearing pants
a belt
or underwear

perhaps..a onesie would be more appropriate
after all, we dressed you from birth, seems you still need help with your clothing.
