Bonnet Poem

I'm just a little hankie

as square as square can be,
but with a small stitch or two

a bonnet I will be.

I'll be worn from the hospital

or on my christening day.
And after that, be folded

then carefully put away.

When on that future wedding day

so we've been always told,
the well-dressed bride must carry

something that is old.

So what could be more fitting
than to find little me
and with a few fine stitches snipped

a wedding hankie be.

And if perchance it is a boy

someday he'll surely wed.
Then his bride can have the hankie

once worn upon his head.
