Poetry Corner - Buckingham Lilac


Buckingham Lilac

A reel of Buckingham Lilac
The Duchess of the sewing kit
Gives herself airs and graces
Proud of her delicate wit
She will only hem silk hankies
Monogram satin and lace
Cheap cotton or nasty nylon
Will not bring her out of her place
A reel of Buckingham Lilac
Queen of all the Sylko shades
Shunning Navy and Khaki

Rose and Peach are her handmaids

Sarah Miller Walters
