Flash Fic Challenge: Never Underestimate Little Old Dolls

 Never Underestimate Little Old Dolls

Orinda lived in a little ice house,

On its little ice shelf, in a doll's brass bed.

She was a smart little doll

With a thought in her head

And she guarded the place with a will.


So when burglars crept through the frozen door,

Or pirates climbed through the window,

The little old doll raised her little old head

And she smiled at them from her little brass bed

Until every one of them fled!


And still, they say, in a little ice house,

On a little ice shelf, in a doll's brass bed,

Lives a little old doll, whose smile,

Is red.
