No more flannelette shirts now it’s November.
No more slippers, dressing gowns, they’re old men’s clothes.
No more ‘Married At First Sight’ or ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’
Real men don’t watch those.
And when you pull up at a red light, no more picking ….
Please, please, I say, no more no-no’s!

Flannelette, huh? 😀

🙂 to me it’s just a shirt; I’m aware but unfazed by the connotational baggage such shirts carry 🙂

i say wear what you find comfortable. I spent my teens and twenties angsting over clothes. Now I mostly buy from op shops and I love the freedom that gives me to try different styles and colours at a low price. I buy what I like and I remain almost completely unaware of fashion. If there’s one advantage of getting older (and I”m sure there’s more than one) it’s that you can leave that stuff behind. That’s my opinion.

I like it. Worms; I think the same; I am no longer ‘a dedicated follower of fashion’ 🙂

I wonder if there ever has been a scientific study to determine the percentage of people who pick their nose!?

I say yes to the flannels, but the picking, well, that’s a no no. As a person who’s allergic to rules, though, I get this poem’s vibe.

For me in the northern hemisphere, it’s time to put on the flannels. But I don’t know about the picking. Love the humor in this one!

When the no-no’s cross the limit of acceptance, a firm no is the perfect rebuttal. I wonder which no will make it. Haha! Very creative, John. 🙂

It’s more fun to say yes! About the picking, it’s like a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna get! 🙂

Seems from a quick net squiz, 90% of folk pick. Perhaps the best picking, like dancing, is done when there’s no one looking.

More times than not when I’m driving, the person stopped beside me at a traffic light will be picking their nose.
Is it because they think there’s a ‘cone of invisibility’ around them in their car? Most bizarre.

thanks Eden; it seems nose picking at stop lights is more prevalent than thought —
