Suspenders are oblivious
To their importance
They hold shit up
Panties can only be pink once
Bras are too self-involved
Gloves never lay a hand on anything
Belts are for the buttless
Tightening up when uncomfortable
Loosening up after a few drinks
Jock Straps think too much
About Athletic Support
Jeans are multitaskers
With concentration problems
Especially if they’re hugging hips
T-Shirts only want to play
When it’s time for bed
Unless they’re a Pocket Tee
Then they have an identity crisis
Nylons can get along with anyone
Until their toes get stiff
Or their conversation skills sag
Zip ups are perverted ass pinchers
Buttons get too attached
Scarves are spiritual masters
Of Body and Soul, Yin and Yang
Unless they are 100% wool
Jackets are pretenders
to the throne of Coats
Turtlenecks are creepy
Pajamas play hooky
Drink Spanish Coffee
Lay around watching soaps
Ponchos live precariously
If they are fringed
They might be seen at night
But quickly disappear in the day
A blouse is a blouse is a blouse

I’d be lost without my belts & many people would be visually assaulted daily when my pants fell down sans my belt especially since I seldom wear panties and despite my best efforts I am one of the “buttless”…
Hahahaha it’s all true and I enjoyed your post 🙂

Don’t think you missed a garment in of my humans closets. All seem to have neurosis – maybe that’s why humans are so mentally disturbed – it’s catching. We dogs don’t have such problems since we don’t wear clothes. Maybe you humans should start going naked.
