The pillows do not rest your head although you may be tired Perfect porcelain statues of people Tiny trinkets motionless and admired towels that dont dry ***** hands Because they are for looks The dolls stare blankly across the room Sit on shelves instead of books The fine china sits in a curio shelf Alone forever collecting dust Pretty flowers no one smells Frozen forever go untouched antique couches plush and blue The guests not asked to have a seat Price tag attached as if brand new It’s contents staged precise and neat Take off your shoes at the door To maintain the integrity close to mint Walking on eggshells upon the floor The carpet lacking one footprint A life size doll house you can walk inside look but do not touch written in large print Detailed written warning signs Inform the cautious and careful inhabitants A house you wouldn’t want to live in But a family does reside A shocking truth you can’t believe Resembles forms of any human life

Doll House
The pillows do not rest your head although you may be tired Perfect porcelain statues of people Tiny trinkets motionless and admired towels that dont dry ***** hands Because they are for looks The dolls stare blankly across the room Sit on shelves instead of books The fine china sits in a curio shelf Alone forever collecting dust Pretty flowers no one smells Frozen forever go untouched antique couches plush and blue The guests not asked to have a seat Price tag attached as if brand new It’s contents staged precise and neat Take off your shoes at the door To maintain the integrity close to mint Walking on eggshells upon the floor The carpet lacking one footprint A life size doll house you can walk inside look but do not touch written in large print Detailed written warning signs Inform the cautious and careful inhabitants A house you wouldn’t want to live in But a family does reside A shocking truth you can’t believe Resembles forms of any human life
