A Tomby's Lament
Short Description:
A quick little triolet I dashed off years ago in a fit if pique, because I had nothing to fight in, and I REALLY hate sewing!
Poem (Canso):
Though I’d to manly skills convert,
I cannot fight, for I can’t sew.
I’ve dresses, but no linen shirt,
Though I’d to manly skills convert.
I fear more than my pride might hurt
To fight with cotton skirt below.
Though I’d to manly skills convert,
I cannot fight, for I can’t sew.
