When I was a little girl
I had a babydoll.
She was plastic and cheap
but I loved her like she was
my own daughter.
She wore a little pink sleeper and
had soft blonde hair.
I watched her little eyes close
when I placed her in my
toy crib.
I took her into my nightly bath
with me.
There was a little hole drilled
in her bottom so
water could drain out.
I held her under just so
I could see the water run
out of that ugly hole
when I took her out.
If she were really my
daughter today,
I'd kill myself for drowning her.
