I hope they'll catch on
Today I formed
the grandest plan
ever conceived
by mortal man

For in the summer
I get so hot
I don't want to wear
these clothes I've bought

And in the winter
I get such a chill
(as evidenced by my
'lectricity bill)

I need cover in summer
but it can't be too warm
and extra heat in the winter
to weather the storm

My plan, you see
is just common sense
considering the fact
that my leg hair's so dense

I'll shave off the hair
from my knees to my toes
thus saving myself
from these seasonal woes

In summer I'll run naked
but covered "down there"
with a well tended forest
of curly brown hair

The shavings, I'll use
to line winter clothes
though I will need some help...
perhaps someone who sews

Great things are invented
by men of all sorts
but it took a man of vision
to invent these hair-shorts
