In the children's room

I’ve got a doll

that wakes me up at night

and holds her eyes still in day.

She reaches for a sea wall

in a room of blue and white,

even when the puppets say “she’s just a doll.”

But when the rainfall

gives me a fright

she says “Don’t worry; I will make your day!”

I get up, I grab my ball,

start looking for the knight,

a husband for my doll.

And then the cat meows to call

my mum.  She comes flying on a kite

and sings: “let’s waste another day!”

“No, mum, I know for good you’re gone,

but now, it’s alright

I’ve got a lover for my doll

and games to spend my day.”
