Hi, I'll never understand it, but okay, you were able to breathe life into the picture with your words which don't do much to make me laugh. Good luck in the contest. Cheers.

LOL Agreed. It wasn't that humorous. It fact, rather sad. Wrong contest for it, but thanks for the compliment about breathing life into the picture.

Your poem is funny and I enjoyed reading it. It flows well with humor and your artwork choice goes well with your poem. It enhances it.

Ha, ha, you got it there. Makes you wonder why some one isn't complaining about being offended by this. Where's the media when you need them. I mean, isn't this a representation of the gang and drug culture. Isn't this just a glamorization of a violent and dangerous life style. Anyway a humorous well written entry for the contest. Good luck.

I believe this did start in prison. The dress code at the school where I taught wouldn't allow it, thank goodness.

Invest in men's underwear.

Ha,ha,ha,... this is funny. I hate this fashion, I want to go to them and pull up their pants. Good job with the syllable count. Well done!

LOL. I fight the urge to pull their pants down in hopes of embarrassing them. Is that possible anymore?

Great poem, it made me laugh. And as a teacher this is a daily struggle for me to deal with. Good job and good luck in the contest!

Thanks ever so much for the six. I retired from teaching ten years ago. Even then it was the fad! Deans made the boys pull jeans up and kept a supply of rope on hand! Girls find it sexy.
Can you believe?

This meets the contest requirements nicely with a correct line and syllable count. Great topic as there is much humor to be had in this particular fashion craze which is probably why it is used to often. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

LOL. I guess it's reaching to call it humor. Should have posted it as senryu. Sigh....

Well, this picture carries the saggy pants fad to a new extreme. I'm just glad they also have on the briefs. Good luck, Jeanie Mercer

I just wonder how they have walk with their pants hanging that low. Look uncomfortable to me.

Comment from Domino 2

Excellent

I have particular difficulty in understanding this trend, as MY trousers end up like that unintentionally - a combination of a tubby bell and very small arse.

I hope the women think I'm being intentionally stylish, though they're all too in awe to say so, so far.

Fun words and picture.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray

It's a curious thing why men's pants belt naturally below the belly. Hubby has that problem too.
