The Flower Girls

 Lavender, Lilac and Lily

Three sisters were named after flowers, it’s true,
One was called Lilac Annie and another Lavender Blue,
Lily was the youngest, and she was named Lily Grace,
The girls’ mother was called Queen Anne’s Lace,
Their father was known simply as Sweet William,
Everything his three daughters did would thrill him,
He was a proud papa married to the love of his life,
For Queen Anne’s Lace was a wonderful wife,
They lived in a purple house in the middle of town,
The girls could often be seen skipping up and down,
The sidewalk in front of the white picket fence,
Playing hopscotch with a shiny sixpence,
The front yard was filled with colorful blossoms and blooms,
And pink frilly curtains hung in the upper bedrooms,
Their cute black patent leather shoes and white lacey socks,
Were complimented nicely by their hand-sewn frocks,
Their mother made all of their beautiful clothes,
In floral print fabric with matching buttons and bows,
One more tidbit I have to share,
They even had matching underwear!
These girls were quite fancy, but down-to-earth,
Even though they were doted on since their birth.
