   Time sequence of/and citations appears skewered above   
   why above all else. And sew, another tale wags the dog.

   When the pants are well worn   
   the waist fits right in.   
      
   Finding a pair that fits can be a chore.

   The right pair is always found in the last place one left.   
   Until one has been found, one continues to seek.   
   Once one has found the pair that fits best   
   one may stay there or have gone.   
      
   Usually one leaves the fitting room.   
      
   Yet, someone needs to mind the store.   
   Many children, no matter how grown up, tall,   
   wide or who remain small, need assistance,   
   even in their middle ages, let alone   
   young and old.

   One leg at a time.   
   New legs are always being produced.   
   At this point, one may wonder. Standing under   
   bright lights in the shadows of the fitting room.

   Shirts? I thought this was about pants.   
   Why do dogs pant. Who wears what in a family   
   tree of knowledge about the passing   
   in the middle of the knights and   
   a waist of time's well pent.

   When one enters the fitting room it is fitting,   
   to find the best fit of the pair one is to wear,   
   first, to remove the pair one is wearing.   
      
   At times, in the middle of winter, as ancients were   
   known to be cautious when telling such a tale,   
   one may enter a fitting room with much   
   and various layers of accretion have   
   also been accreted over time.   
      
   Time and time again.   
   And so one removes what was sewn   
   into the fabric of one's over-coat, first. Then,   
   if one is able to, take a good belt of the flask and   
   relax, because finding the right pair can take a spell.

   Not all styles are always in style. And so, to keep   
   being fashionable in one's dining car on the train   
   of thought as it rolls along on the rails, one   
   normally does not have a master tailor   
   at one's disposal on every train.   
      
   Some poor souls were born in to not even one   
   pair to begin with. Yet they were taught   
   how and what to wear and when.   
      
   This often is confusing to some lost souls.   
   All they wanted was to fit in. But never found a pair.   
   Not being born with a pair, they sought for one.

   Some people are too fat. Some are too thin.   
   But now, with new, improved one size fits all,   
   all of that is history. Now everyone wins!   
      
   >And right through all that hard work, it is   
   >said that it is nothing that can be gotten.   
   >Holy mackerel, what kind of vicious circle is   
   >this?   
      
   Hide and seek is normally played with much merry   
   meant. Yet the one who is, it, must find all the, others.   
      
   If someone is able to make it to the gnarly tree   
   and say a magic word, one is home free.

   Make sure your new pair is durable.

   A good time was had by all those whose waste   
   of time was a good fit. No belts for the ones   
   who are on the wagon though.   
      
   >Tang Huyen   
      
   Never use an old bota bag with a new pair.   
   That would be unfashionable in some realms.
