Little doll (rhyme)
I had a little doll the prettiest
Ever seen
She washed the dishes and
Kept my house clean
She went to the mill to fetch
Me some flour
And always came home in less
Than an hour
She baked my bread and
Brewed my ale
She sat by the fire and told me
A tale
I had a little doll the smartest
Ever seen
She solved all my problems and
Wrote my essays
She played me the guitar while
Humming her tunes
She never got tired but
Went on and on
She sewed my dresses and
Combed my hair
She sat by the fire and continued
The tale
I had a little doll the saddest
Ever seen
She cried on my shoulder and
Wept on my lap
Always kept sobbing for more
Than an hour…
Then she took un a knife wrote his name
On her flesh
And both tears and blood fell
Onto my lap
She sat by the fire and looked
At the flames
She wiped out her tears to finish
Her tale
When she whispered "the end" had no
Life in her veins
