Explore "Dorothy's Opinion" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Mamma has bought a calendar, / And every single page / Has pictures on of little girls / 'Most just about my age.
And when she bought it yesterday, / Down at the big bazaar, / She said, "What lovely little girls, / How true to life they are."
But I don't think they're true to life, / And I'll just tell you why; / They never have a rumpled frock / Or ribbon bow awry.
And though they play with cats and dogs, / And rabbits and white mice, / And sail their boats and fly their kites, / They always look so nice.
And I am sure no little girl / That ever _I_ have seen, / Could play with dogs or sail a boat / And keep her frock so clean.
