i pose, pretty in bell-shaped dress
lavender with polka dots
i stand here, smiling all day long
with petticoats of velvet & tulle
while I itch to walk
in my green minted slippers
here comes an old lady
with a bag, colorful as lemon
under her glasses,
she marvels at my freckles
alas, her dog got too excited
and prancing around,
pawed his dirt on my feet-
yikes, it was all I can do
not to smack him back
with my corns and toady toes
i did sneeze a big ACHOOOO!!!
as the old lady pulled him back
sh-sh-smacking her lips
moving along where hydrangeas and azaleas
are shooing away the bees & bugs -
please leave me alone!!!
I'd rather be
ribbing with roses
fibbing with pansies
than waving cherry Welcome !!!
at 500+ strangers,
