She Hated Men in Discount Underwear
And she hated men in silk.
She hated men in fresh top
running shoes, and she hated men
in weather. She hated men
in perfect polyester and
she hated men from last semester.
She hated men in flannel shirts
and she hated men who were late
for work. She hated men
in pimpy record stores and she
hated men in raves. She hated
men on ocean cruises, and she
hated men in waves.

Hi - I will be ordering your ipod by the end of this week so it should be there sometime next week. I will let you know when it ships. I have to go shopping for which one to get you. Do you have a preference?
Thanks for letting me know!
I like this poem! Glad to see it's already out there.

new 20g, but I'll take a mini
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

At first I thought,
"No underwear at all! That's the answer"
Then I thought,
"Oh well, there goes Poem-on-a-Boat. There goes surfing."
Then I thought,
"Shut up old man. Just shut up."
I liked this poem. Congratulations on the ipod!
Chuck
