We read that poem, all of us, and grasped what she is saying.
we don not need to sit aned knit, although we all are graying.
We think about what we can do. Our plans we have been laying.
Instead of working all the time, we;ll be out somewhere playing.

We tak her colors to our hearts, and then we all go shopping
For purples clothes and hats of red, with giant brims a-flopping.
We're tired of working all of the time, and staying home and mopping.
We order pies and chocolate fudge, and rich desserts and topping.
We crown ourselves as duchesses and countesses and queens.
We prove that playing dress-up isn't just for Halloween.
W see ourselves on television and in magazines.
