1800's
March 16, 2010
Farthingales under dresses,
Of most beautiful decor.
Fine gentleman confesses,
Oh, quite the allure.
Carriages on cobble,
Always horse drawn.
Could take a hobble,
Across town at dawn.
Prim and proper,
Even as they lay.
Pay all in copper,
Every little day.
Marriage is a given,
Done when young.
Men were driven,
Dote upon top rung.
What was right,
Is now wrong.
Live 1800's tonight,
On life's prong.

Aww, I really like it.
I'm a bit obsessive about the 19th century, especially the Victorian era, and you've captured it nicely. :)
