Boo has a pair of little britches
She wears them when she goes out to play
Whether it’s a cold and rainy winter morning
Or a hot, sunny summer day.
***
Boo has other clothes
She likes to wear as well,
Like a shirt with a cat and a coat with a button
And a hat with a bear and a bell.
***
But her one thing she likes to wear
And she wears a different one each day
Are the little hairbows she puts in her hair
That her crazy Grammie made.
***
She loves the pink and purple ones
She loves those quite a lot
But her favorite is the bright blue one
with red and white polka dots.
***
She also loves to wear her shoes –
She has a couple, several, a few
It doesn’t matter if they’re bright orange or white
She’ll wear them all whether they’re green, black or blue.
***
Her favorite shoes are purple
With little holes to fit her toes
She wears them with the red and white shirt
That has a picture of a big pink rose.
***
Boo has many hats
that she puts up on her head
But she takes all of them off
when it’s time to go to bed
***
There’s her soft pink and brown one
and the fluffy white one too,
She even has a hat that looks just like
a giraffe in the city zoo.
***
Once she asked her mommy
to paint her nails bright, bright pink
And could she wear that pretty green stuff
she could see when her mommy blinked?
***
She asked about some lipstick
And could she have some pink stuff on her cheeks,
And mommy said maybe another day,
a year or two, or a couple thousand weeks.
***
So Boo went to her sock drawer
and found a bright purple and orange pair
then looked for a pair of pink britches
that she’d be able to wear.
***
She found a pretty brown shirt
and a bow striped blue and green
And when she finished dressing
she was the most beautiful Boo you’d ever seen.
