What Am I? #2



Wearing a dress of vivid bright green

A bodice of pale tan

Showing off my sparkling clothes

As splendidly as I can.



Wearing a dress of vivid dark green

A bodice of lovely brown

I go to my wardrobe and start to change

Into my party gown.



Wearing a dress of beautiful scarlet

A bodice of pale green

My clothes fall off and I open my mouth

Let loose a silent scream.



Wearing a dress of snowy white

A bodice of white as well

A silver cloak around my shoulders

Tinkling with glass-blown bells.
