Cornelia's Red Vest

Cornelia’s Red Vest Cornelia Chipmunk wears a red vest Without it she feels pos-i-tive-ly undressed It has thirteen pockets and twenty-one zippers And fastens in front with some Velcro-like grippers These pockets can hold all kinds of odd things Like shoelaces, pencils, and bright plastic rings, Gum wrappers, pine cones, paper clips, too Why, there’s nine fuzzy socks – 4 turquoise, 5 blue Ribbons and nuts and bark from a tree Some rocks, shiny buttons, a big purple pea. She stacks them all up in the back of her nest And goes to sleep thinking she loves her red vest.
