An Ode to Zippers

An Ode to Zippers



The little metal nubs are known commonly as teeth.
That probably explains why they bite us men "beneath."
I came of age with the zipper, it's always been around
and unlike the bra's "hook and eye", it never did confound.

It has become so ingrained in our society
that we don't recognize its affect on piety.
The zipper gave us time to invent the "quickie."
Without it we'd have to stop at the occasional hickey.

The word itself has evolved to a synonym for fast.
We zip through our days from the first to last.
As a word it has many uses, which I think is fine.
How else could you describe the looks of Frankenstein?

All the humor set aside, it was my first intention
to praise this simple miracle as a top invention.
For all those who've ever had "an emergency"
they know the wonder of the zipper...
                                            just unzip and pee!
