Wearing My Underpants Backwards A poem by Bob Shepherd

Getting up early and it’s still completely dark

Before the dogs wake and begin to bark

Feeling across for my pants

As they slide off the chair, leading to one of my quiet rants

My wife is still fast asleep, 5am is no time for her to wake

I’m moving as stealthily as I can

Not till 7 will she require a shake

I feel across the floor, they must be between here and the door

Found them at last

As I pull them on
