Raspberry Buttons Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

RASPBERRY BUTTONS
I don't know why it sounds so appealing
Sometimes I imagine new outfits this way
Put raspberry buttons on cardigan sweaters
And ladies will act so much sweeter hooray
Put raspberry buttons on frocks they are wearing
Especially the peach ones, the pink ones, the lime
Then twirl them around and see how they sparkle
It's the raspberry buttons that add to their smiles
If I were a seamstress and made things from scratch
You can be certain that I would attach
Raspberry buttons on top of their hats
And the world would be merrier for it.
Plus if you took them out for raspberry chiffon icebox pie
They would absolutely match.
