Analysis of A little Humour
Hot Pants
She looked to me
as the doll she was
bound in tight leather
that set the town a buzz.
Her boots
laced above her knees
While her pants
were skin tight to please.
Her blouse hung
without a bra
As she made sure
everyone saw.
She liked to go
to the seniors dance
Where
she would show off her new hot pants.
Her platinum hair
was beaded in the colour red
Now my poor old grandmother
of eighty is dead.
