He should have been the President
An Admiral ~ A king ~ He did his very best for us
Now hear the people sing
He made all our dresses fit snugly on our hips
Hats off to ELIAS HOWE
The Man who invented ZIPS
Zips on boots and zips on coats
Zips up to necks ~ zips up to throats
From the bedroom ~ Honey shout
Zip me up we're going out
All her flesh is packaged in
Well zipped up she sure looks slim
Be careful though ~ a zip's a nipper
Don't catch your willy in your zipper !
Poor old buttons ~ cant compete
Zips are cool and zips are neat
Zip me in and zip me out
Love's much quicker there's no doubt
When I'm going on a trip
My outdoor coat has a great big zip
Our forebears they had no such luck
It took them hours to button up
Our lives are fast and never slow
Grab your clothes ~ and ZIP & GO !
Thanks for visiting ~ Thank GOD for the ZIP ~ BRIAN

- Comment from author about the poem: The first Man to patent the ZIP was ELIAS HOWE in 1851. It wasn't brought into production until the end of the 19th Century by Whitcomb Judson who called it a CLASP LOCKER ! Today nearly all Men's tousers have a zip (take care !) and most ladies skirts and casual jackets etc. It allows Ladies to wear figure hugging dresses and thigh boot etc ~ the zip is a boon to the Fashion Industry. It has been regarded as one of the greatest inventions of the 19th C. Are you wearing a zip today ? I have one on my trousers and another on my jumper ~ quick slick and convenient ! Please comment ~ Love BRIAN

Precious. Glad to here Willi is safe.
Thanks "A" ~ What we have we hold dear ! BRIAN
It's nice to see some light hearted work 🙂 A vey good piece with an appropriate amount of humour and nice rhymes, I like the nod to Elias Howe as well, it brings realism into such a simple daily object that we take for granted. Well done, and thanks for the great read 😀 xx
Thanks SABRE ~ MPS can get a bit HEAVY at times ~ but there is room fro all genre and profundity of poetry. We should never anybody or anything for granted. Thanks for caring ~ Yours BRIAN XOX
