Emma Had Three Daughters

EMMA HAD THREE DAUGHTERS

Emma had three daughters
Corell was yellow, Cristy was blue, Camilla  was between the two
Prince wanted a rainbow girl, Emma had to call a chameleon
First night her ballistics, he lost a pearl
Second night her calisthenics,he lost his nose
Third night her yoga, he lost his poise
Fourth night he became a porpoise
He purred the fifth night, 
Growled the sixth night
On seventh night he rested and kissed his bride
For the first time.
