The Dolls' Clothes comical poem 619 by Angela Lansbury

Dolls' wardrobe. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. 

I bought a doll with long, blonde hair

A comb, blue eyes,  a tiny nose

Then found it pretty clothes to wear

A turquoise wardrobe housed the clothes

Silver tiaras, scarves and hats

Hidden in drawers in the box

High heeled shoes, sandals, baseball caps

Small mittens, hangers, little socks

Sparkling lace tops, fancy long skirts

Children can spend hours sorting clothes

Red white and blue shorts matched tee shirts

As granny busy with meals knows

She's the grandchild who I adore

But when she left I'm shocked to find

Dolls clothes scattered on the floor

No use pretending I don't mind

At four years old she understands

You put your bricks back in the box

No-one else touches it, 'It's MINE!'

You fight the world with keys in locks

Next time she comes around to play

I'll set my watch to give a warning

Before you leave, tidy away

So enlightenment is dawning

Remember Cinderella's shoe

The moral's clear to me and you

That rushing off will never do

An old adaage which is still true.

Your Box of Odd Socks (Comic poem 137)

 You're not alone in having odd socks

I, too, have a box of odd socks

I feel so sorry, they look so forlorn

I'm sure they were twins when they were born

But now I am wondering what to do

I've found a few which are nearly new

I know that I'll find the other, one day

After I throw this one away

Sometimes you've thrown the worn sock away

But kept the one which has seen better days

Sometimes one's under the washing machine

Or found inside shoes which needed a clean

There should be a swap box for odd sox online

So you could match your odd socks with mine

You've kept my odd sock from two years ago

Found under your sofa - now we know!

Alas some odd socks have lost their elastic

Some are stained, although made from plastic

Some are shapeless, covered in balls

I can clean them with tape, then they'll wipe down the walls.

Regarding odd socks, one joy I must share

Those who worry like me, those who really care

There's no greater delight, by day or by night

Than sorting odd socks and finding a pair.

I have good reason to not throw away

November 18th will be odd socks day.
