The Manikin

So many manikins
In the store windows
Dressed in fashion clothes
What  does happen at night? 
When no one is around? 
I ponder this question

Do they come to life?
Walking on the floors?
Having a chit-chat
Or walk on the floors
When I am in the mall
I do ponder this scene

Kim Rodrigues Date: 5/6/2022 6:32:00 PM Fun! I love the Doctor Who episode where the manikins indeed come to life. Of course that one is spooky. The other cute move was called Mannequin and a guy finds a girlfriend when she comes to life.

Jeff Kyser Date: 5/6/2022 4:32:00 PM Sounds like a great topic for a poem! I wrote one called Toyland Battles. Maybe that's why some of the mannequins don't have hair? Go for it!
