10 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Under a towering green needle
pine
Leaving me with just 9
9 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Landing near the white garden
gate
Leaving me with just 8
8 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Straight up to blue high
heaven
Leaving me with just 7
7 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Bouncing off a stack of red
bricks
Leaving me with just 6
6 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Skimming across a golden bee
hive
Leaving me with just 5
5 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Skittering across the brown
tile floor
Leaving me with just 4
4 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Plunking into my hot black
tea
Leaving me with just 3
3 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Right into the ivory loo –
ew!
Leaving me with just 2
2 buttons line my new coat
1 popped off *POP* and did
float
Up toward the bright yellow
sun
Leaving me with just 1
1 button left on my new coat
I button it tight at my
throat
Now I’m a Super-hero guy
Time to watch ME fly!
What a fun surprise at the end of your poem, Bridget. This reminded me of the Frog & Toad story about a lost button, one of my favorites
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura! Frog & Toad stories are the best! =)
DeleteVery fun, time for a picture book, Bridget! I didn't know there was a button day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! Apparently there is a "day" for just about everything! =)

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and reading my poem! =)
DeleteOh, no! I missed buttons day? It should be a Count Your Buttons Week! Cute poem! And I agree "Frog and Toad" books are the absolute best for kids AND adults.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna! Any day is a good day to count your buttons and read "Frog and Toad". =)
