Inspection of Collection, M & S Dress. Comical poem 751 by Angela Lansbury.

I've clothes in every shade and hue

Red, orange, pink, purple, green, blue

In every style and kind of dress

From, Primark, Temu, M & S


From Ann Balon and Indigo Moon

They fill suitcases and the store room

Hung on hangers, folded on shelves

In the bedroom, bathroom, toilet as well


I've souvenirs from every place

Where suits, caftans and hats are made

Skiwear, tee-shirts, fake fur and lace

Tartan, polka dots, wool, silk, suede


I've button boxes, cotton and ribbon

Sequins, beads and elastic thread

On the floor, also overhead

On the chairs, even on the bed


I slit seams, cut, use safety pins

Every new use is a new win

Bid on ebay, save a dollar

Old toddler's skirt? A new collar!


I alter clothes, dye, cover stains

Like recycling, I take great pains

I love to count, and keep in order

Yes, you've guessed it, I'm a hoarder.

A Royal Wedding - Admiring A Princess's Fairytale Dress



A Royal Wedding - Admiring A Princess's Fairytale Dress
by Angela Lansbury

Behind the barrier, I'm pulled in my place
Keen to peep at that pretty, princess face

I smile, showing braces on my gap teeth!
But my closed-mouth crowd photo brings relief

Let's hope her dazzling dress fits the fine scene
I won't wear my faded, stained and torn jeans

Her stylish hair's swept back, pinned hat in place
I'll cut my jagged fringe, hiding my face

She should dress conventionally, more or less
Outclassing my new, dear, M & S dress

I trust that she wears matching lace beneath
Bringing a fussy, matching prince no grief

She's changed religion, nationality
One must please the public - and reach royalty

I won't copy her if she changes sex
Not the whole long list the long-left expect

Don't show crossed teeth, cross-eyes, hair in a mess
But poised, perfect, pristine, designer dress

In grand, old-world, dusted horse and carriage
A modern, TV, sub-titled, marriage

She can't smile more excitedly than me
High on chocolate, pre-runs runs, re-run fun - on TV.
