Misfit Dolly
You seem to be in
good shape,
no arms or legs
missing.
Your singing voice
is lovely.
You are not a
water pistol
that mistakenly squirts
jelly, or a jack-in-the-box
with a misnomer,
or a sexually-ambiguous elf
denounced for his passion for
dentistry.
Why, then, are you
crying, Dolly?
And, more important,
what are you doing
on our island?
(Crying dolly still from this classic, if you didn’t already know.)
Is it because she has no nose?
That’s gotta be it. And/or because she has only one articulated finger on each hand.
I think it was because dolly was crying. She is supposed to be happy all the time, just like all good little girls.
