Just,One Button

In order to impress and dazzle my date, I put on my best Safari suit hurriedly so I won`t be late, I walk with confidence and extreme glamour, Men and ladies smile at me with great humour, I check again to see whether I`m perfectly dressed, finds one missing button which must be addressed, Check a button shop to replace this missing one; "This one is special and scarce"says the keeper on getting to my turn. She gives me a number to call so as to correct this defect, bringing out my phone to call, but it`s of no effect, Alas! one button is stuck,this hit me like a blow, Why this is happening on a day like this?,I don`t know, I have to correct these before meeting my dame, These defects are serious and may tarnish my fame. CONTEST:"Buttons" sponsored by Black Eyed Susan

wow,taking that one button so seriously. It must be a cultural thing! you should see what I do in a case like this. I look for a safety pin to use! Do you ever do that? this was very enjoyable,my friend.
