“Ah! I think every woman should have a fur coat, Only now she should wear it on her head!"
when asked of Her preference for FUR-
She replied- I prefer IT on Her...
I don't wear Fur,
No.
The thought of IT sends Me a Stir.
While Others bask in the glow of IT.
I find I'm in angst
&
in Woe of IT.
The Bunny,
the Monk-ey,
the Sable-
Whatever your choice-
IT is Fatal.
I prefer a straw hat-
I wear only the Stuff of Mongolian Fluff-
the Darlings still "baa" & graze in the buff.
While Others make WAR
& wear Dead Little Beasties-
I will make PEACE
with FUR-
Sacrificial Lambs for Hair- Only.
I declare, darling Edie,
will never wear Fur Malevolently.
EDIE had a little lamb,
little lamb, little lamb,
whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that EDIE went,
the lamb was sure to go.
"Why does the lamb love EDIE so?"
Love EDIE so? Love EDIE so?
"Why does the lamb love EDIE so,"
the eager children cry.
"Why, EDIE loves the lamb, you know."
The lamb, you know, the lamb, you know,
"Why, EDIE loves the lamb, you know,"
little lamb, little lamb,
whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that EDIE went,
the lamb was sure to go.
"Why does the lamb love EDIE so?"
Love EDIE so? Love EDIE so?
"Why does the lamb love EDIE so,"
the eager children cry.
"Why, EDIE loves the lamb, you know."
The lamb, you know, the lamb, you know,
"Why, EDIE loves the lamb, you know,"

I wear fake fur, always. The only time I went out to the opera and had nothing to cover up, my friend lend me a vintage fur stole, lovely, but it did not make the lasting and craving impression!
ReplyDeleteLike you, sheep fleece and cow hide, that's were it ends!
But I do wear leather shoes....
I confess to vintage fur-pgt
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWho is the "Edie" who is loved by the lamb? And who wrote that verse? And, the last image, of our darling Edie Sedgwick and Jesus is not ID'd; do you know whose it is?
Thanks,
Danny Fields
Danny Fields, I took poetic license with this post-I wrote the verse, the last portion is taken from the children's nursery rhyme. I don't know about the last image-there are a number of ES tumblr blogs with the picture. Can you tell me more? Was it from a film? Very few of the tumblr sites dedicated to Edie Sedgwick with photos are cited unfortunately. PGT
