The New Doll

Actress Dorothy Gish with her 'googly' eyed doll.

 The New Doll by Seegmiller

Her glass eyes are very blue
When she smiles and looks at you,
And her hair is golden bright,
It is always curled up tight--
Annabel.

She can open wide her eyes,
And she says "Mamma," and cries.
Folks admire her rosy face.
And her dress is trimmed with lace--
Annabel.

When I take her out to call,
She is quite the grandest doll.
With her cloak all trimmed with fur,
I am very proud of her--
Annabel.

On Strike

Dolls on strike!

 

On Strike

My dollies are so naughty,
I'm afraid they've gone on strike;
They won't let me undress them,
But just do what they like.

They say they want a penny
To spend on Saturday,
And 'less I let them have it,
They'll not join in my play.

I can't let them behave so,
They'll never grow up right -
But I know they will be sorry
When I don't kiss them good-night.

by Enid Blyton
