Hot so hot
I will cave
Be brave
My legs
I will uncover
For those other than my lover
It's hot
In case you forgot
Shorts
I refuse to wear
Temperature rises
Causing me to swear
Long pants
No chance
Those legs
Keep them covered I beg
The mercury has other plans
In this heat as I stand
Snowy white
I hide from sight
Spider veins
Yes, I am vain
Taped knees
Will now be there for the world to see
I tell myself I don't care
And it is shorts I will wear
Others don't really care. We all think we are being scrutinized at every turn by others, but they just don't care. Maybe secretly they're glad our varicose veins are showing, but only because they choose to keep theirs covered. Be who you want to be, Jane. Life is too short to worry about what others think.
Long dresses and skirts to the rescue. 😹 I've been wearing shorts since April at home. And tank tops, too.
