Life

I have a button.
Its green and blue, red and brown,
Or any colour you like.

I have a button.
Its round, square, hexagonal, triangular,
Or any shape you like.

I have a button.

See, how i spin it round,
to and fro, up and down,
always in tune, always in time.

Oh! Its slipped through my outstretched palms and broken,
into a million quavering pieces.
I sit back dejected,
and like a jumbled-up jigsaw,
try to piece it back together.
By golly its hard, but i know i'll get it back.
