Grandma's Doll

From my Grandma Della's journal: (She was 91 when she wrote this) on November 1, 1991

My Doll

"On day I went to Grandma's,

and forgot to take my doll

I could not play without one

I had no fun at all,

So Grandma made a dollie -

just like the one you know -

she had when she was little

so many years ago.

She took a nice clean corn cob

And made the face with ink -

The undershirt had lace on-

The dress was made of pink.

You couldn't fasten arms on,

So Grandma made a shawl,

and pinned it round so nicely,

you wouldn't know at all.

The hair was made of corn silk -

A pretty color brown.

I think my corn cob dolly -

Is the nicest dollie in the town.
