Wordlings

and the little girls dream
of a crinoline world
of a crepe paper sky
and a taffeta sea

dawn is the glow
of the debutante world
ball dresses on sale
at Debutante World
where shop all the rural debs

Spineworld
And the spinners spin
The weavers weave spines
Of stiff crinoline
Enhanced with whalebone
To create an ubermesch
of linen and chintz
Calico and tortoise-shell
A superman for the sewing circle
The giggling secret
of Mrs. Jane and the Busby Berkeley girls
