Over the years,
through blood, sweat and tears,
I received dolls and teddies,
one I named Freddie,
eyes as black as night,
with her hair tied up tight,
she is better than any other teddy,
because Great Grandma made her
but then gave her
with a red dress and matching bloomers
as well as white frilly socks
which made her a bit of a laughing stock,
but she will always be special to me,
my favourite doll Freddie.
