Buttons At Your Feet

Buttons buttons everywhere Just you stop and consider No elastic in the olden days And zips not in use either Lets start at your feet We have buttons on your shoes A button hook was useful Your panties had no elastic So was buttons that kept you modest From there we go to your bodice Where you will find buttons by the score A lady’s maid was employed To sort them could take an hour Then it is your skirt buttons So many buttons some doing work Others for decoration only Making you feel and look good Your blouse wont be outdone With buttons on the sleeves And tiny tiny ones down the front When opened what a relief Can you imagine the frustration Of those buttons when on heat No wonder in the fiction books Clothes were ripped off Landing at your feet --------------------------------------------------------- Continuing welsh lesson In Wales the name for button is botwm (butoom) But if you say botymau It means button hole. (but er maw) As a child my name for button was oompna lol think it’s harder than botwm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
