Forgot to tie off the lace in a pair of sweatpants

Now it's disappeared way back in the pleats ...
Tried all kinds of hooks and wires and a lance
But the lace won't be hooked at all - it cheats!

There's a spot at the seam over the pocket ...
Where it will not slide through ... just stops it!
Finally gave up after a couple hours of trying ...
I'll just have to wear them as is ... and sliding ...

I can only hope they don't get too loose ...
For if they do slip and uncover my bum ...
Whoever's near will have a sight to choose
To see or not ... that will be the most fun ...

For I always wear sweatpants next to the skin
Which means only bare necessities will be in
Still ... whichever way one looks at it all ...
I guarantee it will be quite an eyeful ...
