Isabella - La Poupée qui fait Bon Ton!

In pink and green with skirt and beads
Our fashion princess swirls with ease
But why the grey-red stethoscope
Hanging round her gentle throat?

Will Isabella be a nurse?
If so, it's here you've heard it first!
Maybe with COVID in the news
This has influenced her views?

Who can tell? Our pert wee Miss
With tumbling blonde locks still sun-kissed
Has such an innate sense of self
No chance she'll stay upon the shelf!

What puzzles Auntie are the specs ..
Shades of Polnareff – what next?
Iconic – though she's not yet three
She milks her audience – and me!

(c) Poet in the woods 2020





Inspiration: French singer Michel Polnareff (born 1944) original song: "La Poupée qui dit non" ...(1966)
