Say the Word 'Trousers' Without Laughing

Luck Jim had only two pair of trousers and one pair could not be worn in public. The others he tore In the car of a professor. Menswear rhymed trousers with arouse us because they were the most resourceful of second-division Britpop bands Donald had nae troosers but went through the streets clad in his kilt whether the wind blew high or low. And I once knew a guy called Rob who liked to walk around his flat in some hideously coloured very baggy and very bright ethnic trousers he had acquired during his travels in Africa He had a Bob Marley poster on his wall. But on Tuesdays he went to the university OTC to play with guns and pretend to shoot foreigners.

Ummm....I really had no idea where this was going. The pacing and feel of the poem seem ok, but what was the narrative of the poem trying to accomplish. I just don't see it.

It's not really meant to achieve anything. It just amused. If you've never read the novel 'Lucky Jim', or hrard the record 'Donald Where's Your Troosers?' by Andy Stewart, you'd probably just assume I was talking nonsense. Which I probably was anyway.
