Yoga Pants

I bought a pair of yoga pants 
Without the slightest urge
To practice yoga, but it wasn’t 
Too much of a splurge.

Reminds me of some other clothes
Designed for active wear.
My ski coat’s never seen the slopes
And I don’t really care.

I walk around in running shoes
And in my baseball cap,
I’ve never hit a long ball
Into any outfield gap.

I even owned some cowboy boots
But never rode a horse
And my husband wouldn’t dare to wear
A “wife beater,” of course!

Great write, ilene. I hope I don't get a ticket from the Literal Police for wearing tennis shoes!
