THE CO-ED'S TRIAL BALANCE, by ANNA MANLEY GALT First Line: This jaunty hat was topsy's Last Line: These shoes...They must be mine! Subject(s): Classmates; Girls; Schoolmates | |||
This jaunty hat was Topsy's. The blouse belongs to Rose. And I always rush the Jordan girls When I need a pair of hose. Jo Ann's best formal is my pet... I love its sea-green hues... But I really can't remember Just where I got these shoes My favorite campus costume Is a jitter-bug jackette; I borrowed it from Alice, Oh perhaps...was it Jeanette? I date in Peg's angora knit And they say I look divine. There can't be any other way, These shoes...they must be mine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CLASS by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER FOR A STUDENT SLEEPING IN A POETRY WORKSHOP by DAVID WAGONER BILL AND JOE by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES THE BOYS by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES THE OLD MAN DREAMS by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES GEORGE LEVISON OR, THE SCHOOLFELLOWS by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM BOOKS ET VERITAS by WILLIAM ROSE BENET CLASS POEM by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE THE GIRL FROM SOAP SUDS ROW by NATHALIA CRANE MY CONFESSION by ANNA MANLEY GALT |
