buttons on your shirt
buttons on your coat
buttons on your hat
buttons on your nose

buttons make it talk
buttons make it walk
buttons hold it down
buttons make it go
how many buttons in play
nobody knows

buttons can save the day
buttons can open and close
push them
pop them
snap them
tap them
take it easy
as it goes

Very original. I like it.

First, zippers it away with a lot of buttons. And then, Velcro did away with a lot of zippers.

With the Internet, many more buttons came back. But with AI and voice control, later, mind control, buttons may disappear altogether.

Aww, I thought this was about Cinderella's best friend, Buttons. I was wanting to say "oh no it isn't" as it’s pantomime season.

Least it's not buttons on their eyes as in Gaiman's book.

Yet how true where would we be without them, possibly arrested without on trousers.

Taking a simple item and writing poetry about it is an excellent ability.

Great name, too.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
