From now forward, I shall always think of Severus as Snape of the"Seventy hundred shiny black buttons." Very clever and very funny. Thanks for the much needed laugh. I can't help but wonder if this could be the start of a beautiful Severus/Hermione relationship.

Haha! That was very cute!

lol...this was cute...I especially liked the end with the house elves...

Bravo!

This was a unique and clever answer to the prompt. I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for the smile.

Too cute!  Thanks for sharing!

The greasy black bat of the dungeon imperiousNow has no excuse not to get seriousFor even were he to become an InferiusHe'd have a great tribute:"Seventy Hundred Shiny Black Buttons"!Nice work!

:) If Dr Seuss was describing Severus Snape, this is what I imagine it would sound like:) I love it:)Fizzabella

That is just darlin', darlin'!  :-D  And think of the potential for other reasons to leave his clothing behind........  snicker!

It's very funny and very well written. Perhaps you could make it a song.

AH! I LOVE this! I even read it out loud to myself for the full effect, this was totally made of win. I wish I could give you seven stars instead of only five.FYI the line 'Seventy Hundred Shiny Black Buttons' rather surprised me by being a bit of a tongue twister.

Nicely done!  I think Shel would be proud :)

Oh my gosh! I LOVED this! What a wonderful ending... almost, well, sweet!

Thank you for taking the time to address the very real, very serious problem of excessive buttoning.

Awww, I loved this! The last line of every stanza, of course, is now permanently embedded in my brain cells. There was a bit of Mr. Silverstein, how droll and perfect! And I love the house-elves' solution, because I thought to myself, What is Snape without all his buttons? So to put it behind, while still allowing the man his buttons? Perfection, darling!

My face aches from grinning over this!

At long long, I can reply.

Yay!  I'm glad you liked it.  And yes - I cannot imagine Snape without his buttons either...  oh, wait.  Yes, I can.  But they are still on the frock coat... and the floor... and pinging against the stone wall of his bedroom...

So, what is Snape without his buttons?  Nakey Snape, that's what!

lulabelle72's response: Oooh, I might have guessed, too, if you'd left this review response!

Hm, now who wrote the other ones I liked too? *wanders off*

That's very enjoyable! Thanks for the laugh.

Very clever. I quite enjoyed it. :)

I really enjoyed that.  Very cute.  5 stars!

I had to read it twice because I was laughing too much the first time. Cute.
