An Ode to Snaps
You are so useful and very small
You hold my daughters clothes together and she’s small too
I owe you my life for without clothes she’d be nude
And if I caught a dude
looking at my daughter in the nude
he’d become food
for a horse.
But though you’re useful, you’re also kind of a pain
there are so many of you just to hold some jammies all covered with stain.
What happened to velcro, zippers and elastic?
Why can’t my daughter wear jeans that are plastic?
So many snaps for such small clothes
It bugs the heck out of me and all my hoes.
I’m tired of snaps
on all these baby wraps.
she cries
she cries
she cries while I fumble at the snaps.
