Fasten-aiding

There are things we take for granted People used to do without With a thousand-plus examples, But these verses are about… Fasteners we use for clothing, Such as zippers, hooks or snaps, Also buttonholes and buttons, Buckles, laces, even straps. Have you heard of Whitcomb Judson? He and Gideon Sundback share The invention of the zipper - Just let Google take you there. All my jeans and many jackets Have that satisfying zip, Which my ancestors, when dressing, Never had a chance to grip. Every fastener has background Which may fascinate or bore, But we owe some thanks to those Who get us quicker out the door. *Thanks to my husband for the title!
