A Broken Zipper

A broken zipper Can happen any time When it does- It does happen It is at the wrong time Rushing to be outside The zipper would break On a winter jacket Or a pair of jeans A change in a zipper Is what is needed A winter jacket That is different When nothing else to wear Go to the dry cleaners They send it out When returned The charge would be a three digit For a payment job done

'Darlene, Thank you for your compassion for broken zipper people. A bad way to start a business meeting is with a broken zipper!. David'

Hello Peter Onvancha, well these things do happen. Once a zipper is broken, i will replace the item. Getting a new zipper is too costly. have a nice day my friend. Thank you for the lovely comment.

Many years ago, at primary school, I was having fun teaching. Until a colleague called me aside & told me my pants was ripped at the back! No zipper, and I was no longer chipper. Shalom, shalom (We will NOT die of embarrassment)

Intentionally or not, this poem is aligned like a zipper, Darlene. Zippers are useful, but when they break or stick they send me mad, lol. Regards // paul

Hello Paul Callus,yes i do understand this very well. When i got a new zipper for my winter jacket, that cost me big dollars. Regards Darlene

Hi Dalene, Cute poem. I love odd poetry. You already know that. If I had 3 dollars I would buy buttons but zippers are more fun. Now that I have read this I can't get zippers out of my head. I will be visiting the dry cleaners to see if they can fix it. Take care. Earl

Hello Earl Schumacker,Yes I do. Well whatever you are getting repaid, ask what the price is before you decide to fix what ever you are having repaired. You may have to pay a big price, like i did. Have a nice day my friend.

You mean the zips on sweaters, jeans , jackets, and trousers etc right? A very interesting poem and I always admire a well written poem on a day to day life little issues. It's an awesome muse, zips break all the time yeahh and it's very frustrating when it's a new favourite outfit with a broken zipper. Kudos. Pls pleez do review/ comment my newest poem too.

Hello s.zamoonpuri, yes I do mean zippers on trouserse etc. Well these things do happen. So if you want to have a winter jacket for another year- you get a new zipper. i will never do that again. I never had a broken zipper on a new outfit. thank you for your comment. have a nice day mu=y friend.

Hello Sandra Adams, that is a good idea. I wanted my 1 year old winter jacket to last longer so I had to replace it. It cost me 3 numbers. i will not do that again. have a nice day my friend. Thank you for the lovely comment.

I once knew a symphony conductor named Dr. Zipper. But his pants were zipper-less. Guess he got tired of paying those three-digit fees! Thanks, Darlene. :) gw

Hello Gershon Wolf, I do not blame him, those 3 digits fees is too much of a cost. Thank you for the lovely comment. Have a nice day my friend.
