I LOVE Mehitable Ann! Last night my sister said: "Mehitable Ann is far from new; I'd put her away if I were you— Love Princess Pry instead!" But I love Mehitable Ann! And I @3can't@1 love Pry instead. If Mehitable's cheeks are pale and white They lost their red that awful night The puppy chewed her head. And I love Mehitable Ann! She can't help being thin, And there isn't a single reason why She can't be as plump as Princess Pry If I put more sawdust in. The Princess Pry is nice; And so is teeny Nan— @3She's@1 in-de-struct-i-ble, too, you see— But something away inside of me Just @3loves@1 Mehitable Ann! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BIRDS OF VIETNAM by HAYDEN CARRUTH SYMPATHY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO W.E.B.
