Notes About The Poem

Entry for 4X4X4X4 Poetry Contest: Sponsored by: Miranda Hawley 

My friend Willy

My friend called Willy
he is real silly
he wears a hat
that is so frilly

A coat of leather
a big pink feather
to keep him warm
in the cold weather

He wears a skirt
and a purple shirt
Willy does not care
he is so overt

Wish I was him
dress on a whim
but alas, I am
too neat and prim!
