Pockets for Women
An impassioned ode
Their significance is underrated
And thus, it should be propagated
To all those willing to embrace
The lack of its own commonplace.
At what point was it made clear
That some of ours should disappear?
Isn’t there enough gender division
Without this separating decision?
Pockets are a must for women’s clothes
The cons can never outweigh the pros!
—
Pants, skirts, and even dresses
Without pockets only depresses.
My devotion can’t be understated,
Their value shouldn’t be discarded.
Why must we resort to other options
With pockets always in men’s fashions?
If anything it should be evident
Why this feature is so relevant
Wallets, phones, and other things
Oh, the carrying joys pockets bring!
—
You may not share my same passion
But please don’t discount the frustration
That many of us women often face
When there is not adequate pocket space.
Having to carry around extra baggage
Does not lead us to an advantage.
Clothing companies, this is a call to action…
No one should have to ask permission;
It’s time to reclaim our control…
More pockets for women is my goal!
