Pants Anxiety

I was getting ready for work today
I started to put on my uniform
I put on the shirt in my normal way
so next came the pants that would keep me warm

I looked in the hamper-- they were not there!
Alas! Why must I meet such a stressor??
Perhaps I had washed them since their last wear;
Maybe they were inside of my dresser?

I frantically scrambled around my room
Where oh where could my work pants be hiding
I would have to leave for work very soon,
my anxiety was not subsiding!

Finally I raised a white flag of sorts,
and I just went to work wearing my shorts.
