Christina

It all began so easy

With bricks upon the floor

Building motley houses

And knocking down your houses

And always building more.

The doll was called Christina,

Her under-wear was lace,

She smiled while you dressed her

And when you then undressed her

She kept a smiling face.

Until the day she tumbled

And broke herself in two

And her legs and arms were hollow

And her yellow head was hollow

Behind her eyes of blue.

He went to bed with a lady

Somewhere seen before,

He heard the name Christina

And suddenly saw Christina

Dead on the nursery floor.
