you would look charming in that
no one croons in the dress shops anymore
about this hat with a tulle veil
may I prevail upon you to try it on
and you do and the bonnet with the rose
o is ravishing
when I was small I used to read stories like that
and I pinpont knew when I grew up i would have
a bonnet with a rose on it too. one in each colour.
but times move on.
I've wished upon several stars now
and for many moons
but someone has whisked those shops away
so that all I hear on the avenue
is the whisper of ghostly chiffons.
