Incognito
                   ( by Joan Donnelly Ellis Oct.23, 2015)

Little girl in updo hairstyle and suspension earrings  
Mommies shiny red pumps grace her feet
Nana's garden party bonnet is settled
Almost ready for a walk with baby doll in carriage
A Sunday morning stroll down Hickory Street
She seats herself in front of the vanity mirror
And paints her lips, cheeks and lashes once and then again
She smacks her lipstick in place, smiles at her just pretend face
Playing grown up is her favourite game

All the neighbours greet her as Mrs. Murphy 
And they fuss over her new born baby, Jill 
On some occasions she will be invited in for tea
Mrs. Murphy is delightful company
And she will engage you thoroughly
With stories of her poor family's indulgences and sin

 Rows of assorted necklaces sparkle 
 As from her throat they dangle showoffishly
 She raises the skirt of borrowed dress lest she trip
 Grabs the handbag with the zip
 A child of seven going on thirty-three
