A PAIR OF SOCK COUPLETS

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

A PAIR OF SOCK COUPLETS

 

 

Among the worst of sartorial scandals

Is the wearing of socks with open-toed sandals.

 

 

I’m a lover of fashion so forgive me my rants

when I see grown up men wearing socks with short pants.

    So very true, strangely my wife and I were talking about this yesterday.

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    Socks come in PAIRS
    The law declares
    So what a shock
    TO find in MY SOCK DRAWER
    A SINGLE SOCK !

    Thanks MICHAEL ~ very droll ~ also love the reprise of BARRINGTON

    Another reason why I believe the Female of the species (FEMO SAPIENSSE) is much more superior to the Male ~ is summer dress ~ ALL Ladies manage to look stunning (Especial Ladies Day @ the races !) and Ladies are even more beautiful AL NUDO ! men in SUMMER TRIBAL COSTUME all manage to look like merde ! Thanks BRIAN !

      Barrington is a bit of a character - I'll see if I can dig out more of his cartoons,
      yes men seem intent on looking dreadful in the summer season - no sense of dress at all - but that also goes for winter !!!

      My wife often reminds me of it with our son when getting him dressed. No socks since he's wearing his sandals.

      • Michael Edwards

        You've got a fashion savvy wife there - thanks for looking in.

        Now - 'Great minds think alike'. I also heard: 'Small things amuse small minds'! No names, no pack drill! heehee.

        • Michael Edwards

          the second line to that is:
          ' Little things please little minds
          While bigger fools look on'

          there is a third line...!

          Cheers Orchi.

            Michael,
            Love the gnomes! Fun fun!
            Your couplets ring true! That faux pas was rectified when he married me! Lol

            ~Laura~

            • Michael Edwards

              I did a whole series of these cartoons and will post more - thanks for the encouragement Laura.

              Glad you put hubby right!!

              • Laura🌻

                This is our second round...with each other!
                He’s more than “right”!
                Now my son is in charge of his wardrobe! Always impeccable...the both of them!

                My damaged lower legs
                are such an awful sight
                i'm loathe to expose them
                in even darkest of night

                for i'm an exception
                to your sartorial rules
                lest i attract unwanted attention
                from hoi polloi fools

                • Michael Edwards

                  Might be in the same camp - I rarely wear shorts unless the weather reaches well into the thirties - thanks dusk.

                  Love the write by the way.
