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.
