My Dolls House



My dolls house is a window
Into another world
When ladies were so elegant
And children seen and not heard
When toys were neatly put away
Into the proper place
The kitchen, lounge and dining room
Always ready to be graced

The piano stands proudly
In the corner of the room
The rocking horse is waiting
For the children coming soon
The garden and its picket fence
Frame everything so clearly
Is it any wonder
That your mind can wonder freely

Look inside the kitchen
When dinner comes around
Cook all a fluster
As servants gather round
Hoping that the tasty duck
Is roasted to perfection
And the apple pie for afters
Gets the usual glowing mention

This pink Victorian residence
Is a picture on the past
When chairs and tables, beds and baths
Were really meant to last.

When gas light lit up every home
And "dolly" certainly wasn't a sheep
Perhaps we ought to stay in here
And find a bed to sleep












NEW HOUSE
Welcome to Ash Cottage my new dolls house. It is the home of Mr & Mrs Olds and their pets. Come into the kitchen for a slice of cake and cup of warming tea.
