Notes About The Poem

'little Girls Fall In Love Easily'

I am going to turn back the clock of time,
     to a Christmas when I was six years old;
shopping with my mother one day I saw something,
         it was a life size doll and I fell in love.

I talked about her non stop all the long day,
    and I wrote many letters to Santa (and his wife);
my mother kept saying, "wouldn't you like a baby doll?"
         "no mommy, I want life size Sally!"

On Christmas morning I flew down the stairs,
     the tree was all a glitter and Christmas music played;
but no parcel looked big enough for a life size doll,
         I opened one box to find "stupid" baby doll.

My lip was quivering but I did not cry,
     dad brought a white kitten in his arms for me;
but little brother took it and they were playing,
          so, I went upstairs until mother called.

And there was Aunt Mary holding Sally doll,
     I screamed-  she was my "everything" for weeks!
then-   I picked up baby doll, "she had stuff",
        a cradle, bottles, clothes-  and I fell in love.

Cheryl Hoffman December 14, 2016 at 7:11 PM Your nice nostalgic poem brings back fond memories when my sister and I had life size dolls called "Patty Playpals," for some reason my Mom got rid of them when we got a little older…Good luck in the contest BW!~Che
