Corina In Her Red Shoes

corina in her red shoes leaves scuff marks on the stars.

corina in polished red patent in a white summer dress

painted by the painter.

corina in her red shoes, indoors when it snows

sparkles like rubies, doesn't need to know

if there is really music anymore,

a book of fairytales open to the page

she loves the best and more tumbling

from the shelves and in a green dress

with cabbage roses

she is princess for awhile

in cotillions of her smile.

corina tap dancing down the avenue

for several carrots and a few odd apples

strangely patent red at the market

don't you tell.  my golden delicious.

corina in new springy shoes

with the strawberry satin straps

was seen on Sunday, shod in pink velvet, velvet shoon

and floating tune by tune with God

in a magenta wide brimmed hat in a lemon sundress

what do you think of that?
