Button

How cutely and compactly you fasten, My shirt and coat and make me smart looking; Could I fancy my woolen coat open, For a chilly cold wave to break us through? How a bit decoration on you change, Shirt or skirt or blouse or frock or jacket! Wallets, purses, and bags wear you proudly, Your ornamental face shining on them; Our children play 'Messy Tray' and 'Name Plate', They match you, sort you, arrange ardently; Make necklaces, collages, and countless patterns, Fun and frolic surround their play groups; Sand play; dress up play; play dough; ode one out, Of you we make puppets and play bingo; Do our nursery mathematics end, Unless we learn counting, first, with buttons? Don't buttons teach lessons on 'life balance'? Don't they teach us core ethical values? Isn't button a nod of connection, Betwixt brain behaviors in psychic molds? Truth, respect, procession, and progression, Crush and quash disrespect, insults, and lies? Symbolizing control, calm, and courage, You end depression and low self esteem; O button, just like doors safeguard my house, You save my physique from perilous risks...!!! 16 March 2023

Ahh more button poetry - I had a minor obsession with buttons last week. I bought some bright yellow ones today to make into Easter chicks with my girls :)
