Buttercup Poem by Elisabeth Wingle

Buttercup

Rating: 4.8

My father was alwaysquick with a smile.
His happiness camefrom within.
Often he'd pluck, sweet buttercup
And hold it under my chin.
' Do you like butter? He'd say to me.
With a twinkle in his eye!

I would look down and kick the ground,
For I was rather shy.
Then from under my skin,
I would feel it begin
A warm glow spreading
From under my chin!
YES! I like butter!























'Do you like butter'?




'd say to me
