A thousand mini works of art, Five hundred mini books And furniture and silver All deserving second looks. A pair of throne chairs and, of course. Some miniature crown jewels, A bicycle, real food and soap And pots and pans and tools. A tiny vacuum can be pushed, A piano can be played, Embroidered sheets are on the beds, Pure luxury displayed. A cellar holds champagne and gin And whiskey, plus fine wine; The ceilings, walls and rugs throughout Are regal by design. This doll house was a gift but not Intended for a child.
