Isabella - Southern Belle

Our party poppet cuts a dash
Yes, Isabella has panache!
In the round from every view
Twirling conjures visions new.

Pert Miss is technicolour proud
This rainbow warrior stuns the crowd
Expressed in every frill and flounce
Her sense of self is well pronounced.

'Over the top' perhaps? Who cares?
She laps up those admiring stares!
With poise that quite belies her years
She confidently wows her peers ...

And cheeky with it – there's no doubt
See the leopard combi peeping out?
At not-yet-three – what sense of dress!
Will she be Oz's new Mae West?
