The Button At the Bottom of the Jar

Much like the “cracker jack prize”
At the bottom of the box
As candy lore goes.
That unique badge of honor
For those who would dive deep
To grasp the brass button.
Beware this lure full of 
Deceit.
Along the way you may yourself
Delete.

I liked the little 'Cracker Jack plastic figurine". Poem takes me back. Thanks for these memories.
