Pippi Longstocking

Britches to shirt tails in pigtails not pony. She's Pippi the Longstocking, her legs long and bony. With raspberry lips been parched by the sun. Suspenders jacked up to not come undone. Her stitches to patches. The clothes for a Jester. Her uplifting laughter. A fashion that's blessed her. With red raven hair and freckles to match. Her teeth buck in front on jaws for a latch. Long stockings to thighs and on past the knees. Both comfortable wearing and no-one to please. A spunnk little child. with cheeks boldly out. She's Pippi Longstocking! Let's all give a shout! Go Pippi! Go Pippi! from your smile to your laugh. You're the girl with stockings pulled over her calf.
