READY, SET, GO!

              I bought a magic doll yesterday
              And how this dolly loves to play!
              She doesn't smile or wink her eye, it's true
              But she'll play peek-a-boo with you!

              She sits quietly on my kitchen table
              But when I walk by, to my surprise
              Dolly lifts her little pink blanket
              And covers up her big blue eyes.

              She asks, "Where did you go?"
              Then says, "I see you
              "Here you are, Mommy
              "Peek-a-boo!"

              When my telephone rings
              I have to put her away
              Because she won't stop talking
              This dolly wants to play!

              So I put her in my bedroom
              And close the door
              But she's okay, this little elf
              She sits on my bed and talks to herself!

              Oh, how I dread Christmas day!
              That awful day when I'll give her away (:-(

              I know she'll be happy
              This dolly's no dope
              Yes, she'll have a younger, better Mommy
              In my great-grandaughter, Etalia Hope.

              Three-year-old Etalia
              Will know just what to do
              When she hears her new baby
              Say "Peek-a-boo!"

              Great-grandma will go home and write a poem
              How will it begin? Yes, you know
              It will start with three words,
              "Ready, set, go!!!"
