...as I waited

Moment of Silence Challenge Entry

By Paul StewartPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

So, my underwear fell down, as I waited

in the queue at the store, as I waited

likely, my belt buckle broke, as I waited

eventually leading to embarrassment, as I waited

nice blue jeans sliding to the floor, as I waited

can't explain my boxers falling, though, as I waited

everyone hushed, holding back laughter, as my tackle hung for all to see, as I waited

Thanks for reading!

Not based on real-life situation. All events are fictitious and any resemblance to real events or people are merely coincidental.

Here are some less funny pieces:
