Children literature and prose is my favorite section in every library and bookstore. I am drawn in by the colours, the typography, book design, and the quirky stories that lie within each book. I have the refined taste of a twelve year old and I am not a ashamed.
I read a bit of children poetry and prose a while ago and copied the poems I liked into a small journal. This was one of them. The age is evident in the old choices and how people are described, but the sass is undeniable there.
I will share a bit more information about the author later. I also think that a poodle can substitute for a lamb.
If no one ever marries me-
And I don't see why they should,
For nurse says I'm not pretty
And I'm seldom very good-
If no one ever marries me
I shan't mind very much;
I shall buy a squirrel in a cage,
And a little lamb, quite clean and tame,
That I can take to town.
And when I'm getting really old,
At twenty eight or nine,
I shall buy a little orphan girl
And bring her up as mine.
