Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Jim's Collection

Jim for decades collected us.

We're even kept in our own drawer.

Button garments, we are the plus

Spare button, o'er time, more and more.

Oft us, Jim did accumulate.

None of us ever needed though,

Cuz Jim would never hesitate,

Buy something new, rather than sew.

We only saw Jim when he'd add

A new spare button to our bunch.

Jim, old and ill, the news be sad,

He's gone now, as we had a hunch.

Today, they're gonna bury Jim.

We buttons doubt we'll go with him.
