(19th C. CANADIAN RUG RHYME)

I am the family wardrobe  best and worst

 of all the generations  from the first,

Grandpa's Sunday-go-to-meetin' coat

And the woolen muffler he wore at his throat;

Grandma's shawl, that came from Fayal;

Ma's wedding gown,

 three times turned and once let down,

Tread carefully, because you see, if you scuff me,
You scratch the bark of the family tree.
