Even when the cardboard of all our dreams lies sodden and crumbling in the puddle of reality that lies at the very heart of the car park of all our most cherished hopes and desires, we do not entirely despair. At least, not if we find ourselves – at the time – residing in a form of trouser suitable for such an august and significant occasion of impromptu philosophising, or spur-of-the-moment pondering.
Times of such existential crisis should – at least – be prepared for by giving serious consideration to the form of trousering that one will be residing in on such occasions. Such times of profound philosophical inquiry cannot even be considered whilst wearing shorts. At least a sturdy pair of pontificating trousers should be worn, possibly with a matching cardigan of profundity, or – at the very least – some kind of philosophising-ready shirt.
Deep thought of the kind that is necessary when all that we have lived by lies like Christmas wrapping paper at our feet. Moreover, such sturdy trousering is vital when what we so avidly longed for now looks more akin to one of those cheap presents given to us out of propriety by some distant relative. A relative who sees us only as a name on a list to be crossed off down at the bottom of the awkward buggers to get presents for, then it is easy to understand why a suitable pair of philosophising trousers should become vital for all our deeper ruminations.
