Off the Button
Within the hurricane report,
Of which I just heard snatches,
A person on the radio said,
“Button down the hatches!”
So many people get things wrong
When idioms are used
And it is understandable
For folks to be confused.
But “buttoning the hatches”
Wouldn’t help one to protect
Either property or relatives,
At least last time I checked.
