Mr. Flipper's Zipper Collection

Mr. Flipper’s Zipper Collection: a poem adapted from a lecture given at the 47th Annual International Conference on the Proliferation and Classification of Zippers titled, “Zipper Happy: the Unilateral Condition and Station and Stipulation of the Relationship Betwixt Contralateral Zippers and Detectable Joy.”

Mr. Flipper collects zippers.

ZIPPY-ZAP!

All kinds of zippers:
zippers on jackets
zippers on packets
zippers on cases for tennis rackets

ZIPPY-ZAPPY!

zippers on suits
zippers on boots
zippers that’re ugly
zippers that’re cutes


ZIPPY-ZAP!

zippers zipped
zippers unzipped
zippers in various stages of zipation
zippers he bought on a zippy vacation

ZIPPY-ZAPPY!

But Mr. Flipper had a little house
and there were so many zippers that
all the zippers made everything explode!

BAM! KA-BOOM!

Then Mr. Flipper said,
“Yippers! All my Zippers!”

But he didn’t really say that
because he was exploded, too,
but he thought it when he was a ghost.
