Miss Etticoat (Posted on 2006-10-06)

Little miss Etticoat,
In a white petticoat,
And with a red nose.
The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows.

Who or What is she?

A petticoat has a conical shape, as it flows out underneath a dress... I would say that the white petticoat is vanilla icecream, and the red nose is a cherry on top!
