pants poems

i had this idea on the bus today--yes, i have lots of ideas on the bus when i am not busy staring down freakazoids who are staring at me, or evading the ticket verifiers--to write a poem using only the brand names of jeans. since i live in italy, i get to use italian AND american brands, so there.

preliminary list:
gap
banana republic
levi's
lei
gas
seven
diesel
j. crew
old navy
501 (or, five oh one)
dockers
abercrombie & fitch
the limited
express
polo jeans
calvin klein
playlife
gloria vanderbilt (from bsb)
lee (thanks, JD)

(i'm stuck. help me out, guys!)

the rules:
the poem can ONLY use these words, but names composed of 2 or more words can be separated in the poem. punctuation, where applicable, can be edited. it is at your discretion. my tips: make good use of line breaks and punctuation.

ready? let's play!

coach--i just realized that this isn't so different than those dadaist poems you had us do. was that you? tristan tzara?
