Dungaree Blues

Once we called them dungarees;

Now they’re known as jeans.

To me, they’ve been a staple

Since first worn when in my teens.

 

Back then, they hugged my hips on top

And flared into a bell,

The bottoms often fraying

After they’d been washed a spell.

 

I’ve gone through many phases –

Skin tight, baggy, dark and light,

But in recent years it’s hard to find

A pair that fits just right.

 

So I order and return them

‘Til I’ll find some that will please,

Like the ones I bought so easily

When they were dungarees.
