With the Shears They’re Handy

Bensoni Clothing

With apologies to the original Yankee Doodle, here’s a new ditty in the same tune (verse-chorus-verse).

Ben and Sonia went to Parsons
Got degrees that are not phony
Started up their own clothes line
And called it [clap] Bensoni!

Ben and Sonia, drape that silk
Hand-quilt one more neckline
Make smooth colors and sweet shapes
And success it will be thine.

Dresses, tops that can be worn
From Cannes to the Isle of Coney
Little shorts and anoraks
Great on curves and the bony!

Ben and Sonia, great tent dress
What a stunning cami
Silk charmeuse and tiny pleats
With hints of origami.
