The Words
The Words
Standing in the store today
I spied a young lass walking my way
The Tee-Shirt she was a-wearing
Left me helplessly a-staring
The words printed there on it
Were profound and filled with wit
I'm sure I've read them someplace
But just where I cannot trace
Most astute it was in meaning
Though the letters were a-leaning
From curves that were quite pronounced
As was the message they announced
I pondered long and never strayed
From the words proudly displayed
Three very simple words and yet
A wealth of meaning..."Slippery When Wet!"
