Short Suspenders Poems

The world heavyweight title defender 
Lost his belt to the leading contender,
But there wasn't a chance
Of him losing his pants;
He was wearing his trusty suspenders....

There was once, a woman named Rose
In briefs; she oft hankerd to pose
Hocking her food blender
She bought smalls, and suspenders'
To bounce onto a stage, i'd suppose?...

Do you remember this?
Suspenders for a teenage miss,
Real boa constrictors,
Our  hip inhibitors, 
Teen boy deterrents,
That's what they meant,
Elastic girdles vanished too,
I remember suspenders, do you?...

There once was a young man from Kansas City
Who considered himself very witty.
For him others wrote a little ditty
"He jokes with bartenders,
snaps his suspenders,
jokester no less, that’s his nitty gritty.”...

Went to the zoo today to gawk at the animals
Wonder what they think of us dressed up in casuals
Shorts with a bow tie
With suspenders, I wouldn't lie
Pink and purple checks, stripes or pretty diagonals<>...

Let go of your
hand grip
let go of
the past
Take fate as
a lover
betrothed
and recast
Your belt
and suspenders
restrict
and constrain
Release
your indemnity
free
—once again

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

A student from old Delaware
Wore ladies undies for a dare ...
Suspenders with stocking
It truly was shocking
Cos underneath them he was bare!

Oktoberfest
Pretzel and beer
Wisconsin’s finest celebration
Bringing all Germans into town
To raise their frothy glasses to each other
The prettiest girls wear the sweet dresses
With suspenders and colors of their ancestors
Salt on the pretzels as large as dinner plates
Mugs large enough to sit in
Octoberfest in Wisconsin...

Santa's not coming this year 
he was blinded by Rudolph 
trip down the stairs 
on his way down his suspenders snapped 
giving him a concussion 
right now Santa thinks he's Batman 
as he runs around the house 
with his red suit 
adjusted like a cape  
mrs.Claus annoyed 
by the thought of being called Robin 
is about to snap...

If you need to be deceived by negative deception
Or seduced by a subtle suggestion
Just wear a belt with suspenders
Or prepare to surrender
a pair of true and solid truths.
Non sequitur--I have more than one pair of tooths.
To reinforce that double redundancy
Borrow some supreme supremacy.
It is never abhorred
Always adored.
“I regret I said that,” I said....

Shocking, those stockings, suspenders and all.
In old days, told to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
These days, old man, you just don’t want to fall.
And truly you’ve had your share of mishaps…so
Go forth, adventure, into the old age zone
Put on your thick glasses and disposables.
And for goodness sake, don’t go it alone.
It is not yet time for condolences!

I mustn't get him a tie
    Number two-hundred and five
  A belt? No. (He needs suspenders)
    He's no longer svelte

  Maybe a wallet?
    What for? He never spends money
  Perhaps a pet?
    Nope. He once killed a bunny...

  I'm out of ideas, I confess
    Haven't the foggiest notion
  Well, I never! He says, 'Come to bed dear
    Your mother just bought me some Purple Passion Love Potion'...

You came to see me today
Only it wasn't you
He stood still looking at me
Staring into my soul
Neither of us speaking
I could see you in him
The way his suspenders rested on his shoulders
Shoe worn from wear
Belly hard and round from years of good eating
So silent we stood and then I smiled
The familiar stranger smiled and nodded in return
He turned and shuffled away
Thanks for coming to see me grandpa
I miss you...

~ So -so   The Clown~
(Triel)


So-so   the clown
He couldn't just step down
He laughed, sang songs which sounded all wrong
Then, oh no! his pants did fall, suspenders not strong.

Pants went down
Folks just laughed, some did frown
So-so   the clown ran, slid on his skate,
folks amazed when So-so  flew and fell on his plate.

Paisley bow-tie
  orange socks
polka-dot knickers
  suspenders dangling

Crazy Marvin's
  testing 'wonder-drugs'
to get his bank
  account jangling

Clouds of smoke
  puffs of steam
strange whistles
  bells jangling

Delirious, dizzy
  all in a tizzy
Marvin's predictably
  mangling

A formula for
  the tutti-frutti, raspberry
bubble-gum serum
  he's angling

To shove down
  my throat ~
Help me!
  I'm strangling...

He said,
"wear your bedroom shoes darling,
and all those black frilly things
that need garters, suspenders, and straps.

She smiled secretly to herself
knowing he would turn up in 2 day old shorts
unshaved, a little drunk and probably
forgetting to shower.

So when the time came
she surprised him in the boudoir
dressed in an old housecoat,
legs unshaved, and hair in curlers.

Typically, he turned off the light
and got right to it....
