Fancy

Fancy Fancy rushes by in silk dancing shoes, Stars within her steps, All plumes and feather boas Leaving clouds of spangles, bits of sparkle, Floating in the air - Trails of rainbow ribbons, Sequins grinning as she passes, Ignoring glares of mauve and mustard Clinging to sashes scattered with ducklings, Buttons and bows hanging on In the spinning tornado of free floating ruffles As bright colored polkadots tumble ‘cross flowing capes While beads and bangles, diamonds of dewdrops, Strings of pearls, Waltz with bright and shiny spangles To bounce alongside wild menageries Of mismatched Plaids that look cross eyed at checks To flirt With spiraling pin strips in diagonal dances Begging exception from lacy flounces, Romping through grids Yellow pink and purple green, And twirling hems of dizzy fringes Revealing pearl studded petticoats Giggling at gossamer scarves Under the spell of a magic wand decorated By glittering hearts To cast a kaleidoscope of spellbinding colors Throwing greetings to wide eyed stares, Amusement ogling Fancy frolicking with Whimsy at her side - Hugging, embracing, cousin Serendipity - Ambling down the broad tree lined lane In gloves and floppy hats with paisley bands Or rhinestone tiaras Tripping toward teatime With scones and clotted cream.
