Somewhere in the land of Meadow Gold
a little girl in a blue and yellow dress
feeds vanilla ice cream to her little doll

who smiles even more than her mistress
although she could be laughing why

even dolls know they can’t eat ice cream
and can only sit in red chairs when they are
propped up just so

even dolls know that their limbs can only break
if they mistresses do all the work to make sure
they never run away

even dolls say

a lifetime of blue and yellow dress
of red chairs and matching pig tails
a lifetime of vanilla ice cream awaits me
