Modest Dress and Headcoverings: Male Response?

[FFC]

There are. Some women become lustful toward a man when they see a man in tight pants or without a shirt. God covered ADAM, too.

Hopefully not in a g-string... That would be scary..

Especially if it was a plumber.

That was painful...

[Judah]

You laugh when in pain, Gman?

Now this is getting worse than the "Church Bulletin Bloopers" thread in the humour section!
At least we introduced some culture and sophistication with a little poetry amidst the laughs.

Do we need Turgy in here to write a sonnet, perhaps ...or an ode to a plumber's fig leaf?

I think we do. A plumber's fig leaf?

[Judah]

Right, where are you Turgy?

In here, lad. Bring your pencil.
There's a job for you to do.

'Twas from a scarce-clad plumber's butt
As he knelt down to loose the nut
That eyes of others did avert
To relieve them of the image hurt
As forward he did bend and pull
To fix the faucet with his tool

Or alternative last 2 lines:
As forward he did bend and clench
To fix the faucet with his wrench


There, I started you off.
Tool might be seen as having a naughty inuendo (not intended) but then clench might relate back to that other thread. You choose.
The next verse is yours, our young poetic one.

Let me try a little first…I feel inspired.

His wrench in hand, a breeze behind,
the plumber towed that putrid line,
what once was hid, displayed so keen,
a sight that few had ever seen,
a jarring blow or wrench attack,
did hardly move that mighty crack.

[Judah]

The nut was stuck, the plumber swore
Once more he pulled but as before
It had not moved, not moved a crack
Not from in front nor at the back
The thing had seized, held tight with rust
A new approach would seem a must

[Judah]

What? No Turgy yet?
Well, I shall continue...


He scrambled to his feet and turned
To face the gaze of she who learned
The full extent of Eden's loss
When banishment came from the Boss
For though that tree had lost some fruit
A leaf as well had followed suit

[Birdie]

Isn't sonnets usually A-B-A-B not A-A-B-B for the rhythm scheme? I learned that in English class in case our jobs ever require us to write sonnets.

[Judah]

You are right, Birdie. It is not a sonnet.
The form of a sonnet consists of three quatrains and a couplet. The usual rhyme scheme is a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g.

However, this is an ode - er, a modified version of one.
It is indeed one in as much as it is a rhymed poem of irregular meter (um, tetrameter - my personal favourite) that praises its subject, but it is not the usual ten line stanza of a-b-a-b-d-e-c-d-e rhyming scheme.
I was just being lazy.

So, have you ever found yourself in a job where you needed to write a sonnet yet?
They are possibly rather hard to find - at least, a good paying one.

Anyway, a plumber's fig leaf has rather gone some distance from head coverings although not from modesty, or lack thereof.
Back to the beginning again...

[Turgonian]

Wow, you remember me! Please, Judah, I need your help again in understanding the jokes going on here. Plumber? G-string? Fig-leaf? What's this all about?

I like the poems so far, though.

Go ahead, Judah, have a crack at it.

[Judah]

Well... at the expense of my ladylike image... but then, I do have a teenage son also...

Turgy, it would appear that the manly way to wear jeans these days is to have them positioned such that, when one is crouched down and bending over (such as plumbers very often need to do - and are frequent offenders in this matter) the back of their jeans ride down very low exposing much of their bottoms - very much, in some cases. The word "crack" has several meanings, one of which I shall leave to your imagination other than to hint that it is used to describe a vertical division in a part of anatomy.
G-strings are very scanty, exceedingly scanty, underwear that basically covers nothing at the back and only the barest essentials in the front.
The strategically placed fig leaf is an attempt at modesty, presumed to be how the suddenly self-aware and highly embarrassed Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves.

Now, if you can tie all that together as you read the comments and verses, maybe it might make more sense.

And the rest of you males on here... you can fill in anything I have, given my ladylike sensibilities, possibly missed.

[Judah]

FFC, you got in there without me noticing.
Just be careful... Mommy will send you to the naughty corner if you don't behave yourself.

...but you did such a wonderful job explaining...as I knew you would.
