Too Short for Shorts

 

Knee length, calf length, short shorts.
The question is how to deport,
in your pair of shorts.

 

Blue, green, yellow, every colour under the sun.
I wonder how will they fit my bum.

 

Twigs for legs sticking out, I'm hardly likely to
get a whistle or shout.
A chicken has better knees than me.
I think I need a cup of tea.

 

Gazing into the full length mirror.
I think I need botox and a bit of filler.
I turn around to admire my behind,
There is quite a lot to admire I find.

 

I ask, "Are these shorts a good idea?"
You point out my height and then disappear.
Perhaps, If I wear a pair of heels or courts...
but at five foot two I fear I'm too short for shorts.
