The Doll


THE DOLL

A child was given a doll,
He carried the doll
Under his arm for twenty years.
The doll had grown
To be a part of his body.
Twenty years old,
The doll wanted to marry,
Said she was in love
With a doll dressed shabby,
A rock singer.
He said, "No,
The operation to separate them
Would be too painful and dangerous."
The doll, sad, refused to eat.
Both died from starvation.
