My Zip Coat

I've lost my battle with my coat.
The puffy, olive green Anne Klein

with two hidden, zippered pockets,
and three zippered pockets in plain view.

The main zipper opens up and down
and gets stuck at either end.

I can handle the bottom stick.
I just step out of the daft trap.

But a top stick is impossible.
I can't pull the coat over my head.

I suspect Ms. Klein saw this flaw
and provided huge snaps to use

on the coat. Just press against yourself
until it hurts and closes tight.

Now, about the Chinese chicken
feathers sneaking out of the seams...

back to issue


Loooading...
