Sir_Nigel 10 #1 Posted April 7, 2016 I have done up many houses in my decorating trousers - commodious and wide with large pockets on the side they promise easy movement and are quite beyond improvement. Though stained and splished and sploshed they are steadfastly unwashed, with feint emulsion smell they’ve served me very well. I’ve increased the price of houses in my deep and spacious trousers. They once were worn with pleasure for daily wear and leisure both stylish and voluminous, I revelled in their roominess. A casual and modish phase and those were very happy days but sadly they grew dated and so were relegated. For paintin’ now and groutin’ and not fit to go out in this much diminished pair I drag be-crumpled from their carrier bag accepting as I put them on that now those heady days are gone. But though I’ve waved a sad goodbye, now and then I’ll see this guy, who, boldly of his own free will wears this dated style still - swanning past with flowing stride with giant pockets on the side, apparently uncaring of what trousers he is wearing. Has no-one thought to stop and say those trousers are bit passé, no friend to question or condemn, no wife to firmly veto them? And then with condescension I’ll allow myself a mocking smile - and scorn that poor deluded fool whose fashion sense is so uncool. Does he really think he wows us in his buff outmoded trousers? And yet I know that deep inside I too would like to freely stride through public places free of care resplendent in a pristine pair and not to give a hoot who sees my trousers flapping in the breeze the pockets stuffed with all I need, a free and happy man indeed. Yet bound by pride and self-esteem this image must remain a dream. If only on that fateful day I’d reverently stored away my trousers ‘til the moment when they’re hip and happening once again or even just preserved the pair ‘til I’m too old to <Removed> care.
