Button Button

by Myra K. Baum

Button, Button
Never have one
When you need it.
Now I have one
Don’t need it.

Button, Button
Where’s pearly white?
Came with blouse.
Found the silver
Came with pants.

Button, Button
Can’t reclaim
The one I need.
Saved so carefully
I thought.

Button, Button
Lucky as, I
Sometimes am
To find
Just right button,
The matching
Thread
Eludes me.
