The pure of heart will recognize the poem as a description
of a buttonhole.

>  Yet the thing I was made for
>  Can stretch me out wide.
>  Though at the first entrance
>  Perhaps I may tease ye,
>  Soon after I commonly
>  Prove for to please ye.
>  I'm long in shape,
>  And my depth can't be found,
>  And when I'm stretched open,
>  My form is more round.
>  Though I'm nothing but mouth,
>  Yet no teeth can you find.
>  I am chiefly before
>  Though I'm sometimes behind.
