 My Pink Coat

 

We went to France the month of May.

And on one clear thing, I did dote.

Of my packing, I realized

I should have taken my pink coat.

 

My pink coat’s warm and waterproof.

Best all-weather! It wins the vote.

I didn’t think I needed it.

I should have taken my pink coat.

 

We walked about in cold and rain.

And soon, I sneezed and had sore throat.

My “raincoat” wasn’t waterproof.

I should have taken my pink coat.

 

And so, my sis heard me complain.

So many times, that’s all I wrote.

I wish a dime each time I said,

“I should have taken my pink coat!”

 

Soon, we’re going to Italy

And on my list, I will take note.

Of all the things that I will pack,

My number one, is my pink coat.
