decorous

the dollhouse appointed in grandest of style
with doilies and drapes aplenty
so the tiniest girl with shyest of smile
gets her dollies ready for tea
sweetly proportioned in frills all of white
a decorous child, her parents' delight
but teddy bear hands were not made to hold
the delicate china, disaster unfolds
a smash and a crash make for milk stained lace
for tears and a cry from nanny's red face
but teddy cares not, he just watches all blankly
he won't cry over milk, tis not worth it, frankly
