COMICS & POEMS 2: One Size Fits All, Poetry

One Size Fits All

It's what they say, one size fits all . . .
Short or fat,
Thin or tall.

Nestled there, inside the egg . . .
So little hose,
S-oo-oo much leg.

I pull and tug, what a row!
I've finally got 'em
O'er my toe.

Please don't twist, my fervent plea . . .
Gracious sakes!
I've reached my knee!

Huffin', puffin' . . . 'bout to die,
At last! I've got 'em
To my thigh!

Falling back across the bed . . .
The mighty struggle takes its toll.
Oh, goodness! No!
Look what I've done! I've punched a hole!
