Buttons make the world go 'round
On my jacket found
No closures? Clothes fall to ground

The 29th Day--Hyperbole Poem--Buttons

On this next to the last day of April's National Poetry Month I greet you. Today's poem is a Hyperbole Poem about which you may read here. And this is my poem:

BUTTONS

Buttons are the greatest things

They keep our clothes intact.

Just think if you had none of them

There'd be a bad impact

Buttons keep our shirts on

And sometimes pants as well

And if you cut off all of them

Embarrassment would tell

Sometimes I think that buttons

Must often feel so small

So many of them look the same

No claim to fame at all

But when you do without them

You wish that they were there

Keeping it all together

And in resplendent care.
