The Cursed Cheap.

TODAY'S INTERVIEW
(A Poem of Unworthiness)


O Pantyhose!
You promised strong hold--
Clutching my thigh all day,
Not a slip, inch down--
And yet at Jules Joffrin*,
I found you 'round my knees,
Forced
to stop and buy new.

O Pantleg!
You of the fragile hem--
A mere tug by a passerby's foot,
and you display your frayed self--
Dragged the Paris sidewalk
As I ran
For tape to hold you up.

I really, really, REALLY enjoy this poem. Emily put the least amount of effort into this post, yet it is among my favorites. I wonder what it is about it...
