Explore "A Great Lady" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This is the Queen of Nonsense Land, / She wears her bonnet on her hand; / She carpets her ceilings and frescos her floors, / She eats on her windows and sleeps on her doors. / Oh, ho! Oh, ho! to think there could be / A lady so silly-down-dilly as she!
She goes for a walk on an ocean wave, / She fishes for cats in a coral cave; / She drinks from an empty glass of milk, / And lines her potato trees with silk. / I'm sure that fornever and never was seen / So foolish a thing as the Nonsense Queen!
She ordered a wig for a blue bottle fly, / And she wrote a note to a pumpkin pie; / She makes all the oysters wear emerald rings, / And does dozens of other nonsensible things. / Oh! the scatterbrained, shatterbrained lady so grand, / Her Royal Skyhighness of Nonsense Land!
