Briefly Famous
‘Loosely’ based on a true story told to me by a friend :)
Briefly Famous belongs to the following groups:
RiginalsI’ve got two piles of knickers
For my fluctuating size
One’s from eating apples
And, well…
One’s from eating fries
They suit my yoyo habits
Never causing any grief
Though, once when in a hurry
I mistook the wrong size brief
The cleanness of the fabric
Held quite firm in their perception
Slowly as the fabric warmed
Came fame with their deception
It happened as I crossed the road
With both arms holding all
Standing in the middle lane
I felt them take their fall
An awkward stance in frozen time
Historic, my debut
The day that I stopped traffic
As
My briefs became my shoes

OMG….I burst out laughing….you are such a classic!
This is brilliant…..
reminds me of the time (many years ago) when I tripped over crossing St Georges Tce (in the heart of Perth) while doing errands for work, (wearing skirt, stocking, high heels etc) and I was so embarrassed at falling flat on my face, I thought I might pretend I had fainted….....until I heard the roar and looked up to see the lights had changed and four lanes of traffic were coming down the slope towards me!!! And so I picked up my tattered self and ran like hell!
Cathryn Swanson replied
Pretend you had fainted?!Haha, that’s a classic. I have a few of these stories of my own too, damn it!Haha. Glad you got out with no serious injuries!!

Nothing worse than losing the elastic from your jocks and they try and work their way down your trouser legs.
Thank god I don’t wear kilts, because it happens more than I care to say.
