I hold things together without a knot or glue, A tiny metal grip that quietly does what I do. I pinch what is loose and keep it in place, Then vanish in pockets without leaving a trace. I can bind up your papers or secure up your bag, I am simple and small, yet helpful each day. I am found in many rooms and in many a pack, Turning disorder into something that stays neatly stacked. I can snap, I can clamp, I can close, I can keep, I am quiet and strong while I do all I climate. What am I, useful and plain in my role, A little helper that gathers the whole so it holds?

I have no doors, yet I keep you inside. I'm built from the cold, a temporary hide. What am I, where arctic winds cannot chide?

Sometimes I hold a morning brew, or I’m the reflection staring back at you. In another sense, I bring dismay, taking your valuables away.

I am a fruit, often pickled and green, Or cured to a dark, oily sheen. From ancient groves, my bitter taste I glean.

Part of face that bear the shine, And also an icon to glow it's prime.
