The Coat

October 29, 2017

My coat has missing buttons

It simply will not close

The open coat sends shivers

From my head down to my toes

My coat lost all its buttons

When it caught on something rough

And now I’m trying to hold it down

But the deed seems just too tough

I’ve tried resowing the buttons

But alas, they just don’t stay

It’s starting to seem it’s time

To throw my open coat away

My coat has missing buttons

The cold air is setting in

It’s time to buy a brand new coat 

To keep away the the wind.
