If I Were a Knickknack

If I were a knickknack 
living on a walnut whatnot shelf,
I would be ideally placed
Between a pink dinosaur and blue elf.

If I were a knickknack
I would be a tiny lamb with fleece.
Played with by a six-year-old girl
Until I broke into tiny bitsy pieces.

If I were a knickknack.
