Pants are one of those garments that make life hard

Plus, they don’t have an irreplaceable raison d’être

A long top can over what needs to be covered

Or leggings will do the job

Pants wrap one’s waist in a tight embrace

I, however, like my mid-section free

Most pants legs hug you too tight

When did pants become like thick stockings?

Then comes shopping for pants

I do it every few years

Only to remember why I’ve not done that

The pants legs always fit me

But when it comes to the waist

It’s as if the pants have shrunk one size

Pair after pair I try my luck

But each time I’m disappointed

Then, I remember why I like leggings

They don’t fight with my midsection

That’s why leggings are my friend

That’s why I really don’t like pants
