This poem Longs for you

Have a question regarding a matter sartorial 

I couldn't locate any online tutorial

My question concerns a piece of clothing you're wearing 

If you have the answer, appreciate you sharing

 

It's the middle of summer, the news reports 

People outside, having fun of all sorts 

At the beach or a concert, playing all types of sports

What are they wearing? A T-shirt and shorts 

 

It's the middle of winter, the cold winds are strong

Going out in a T-shirt and shorts? That would be wrong 

Wondering if snow is expected, winter prolongs?

What are you wearing? You're wearing your 'longs'

 

Wearing your 'longs'? What's that nonsense?

Thnk about it, you'll find it makes perfect sense 

We use 'shorts' to mean pants that end somewhere near the knees

So what's wrong with 'longs'? Comment, if you please
