On the Button
When buying clothes with buttons
Often they include a spare,
So if you find one missing
You’re all set for the repair.
It’s quite a handy custom,
For a button often pops
And usually we’re unaware
Of how and where it drops.
Providing extra buttons
Is both prescient and astute,
Preventing people’s wasting time
In matching-up pursuit.
I wish that other sellers
Would adopt this policy;
I’d never miss an earring
If each pair instead had three!
