Queen Mary's Doll House

Queen Mary had a doll house

Which is currently on view.

It was one hundred years ago

It made its grand debut.

 

With running water, working lifts,

Electric lights and art,

The house sounds so amazing

I don’t quite know where to start.

 

A thousand mini works of art,

Five hundred mini books

And furniture and silver

All deserving second looks.

 

A pair of throne chairs and, of course.

Some miniature crown jewels,

A bicycle, real food and soap

And pots and pans and tools.

 

A tiny vacuum can be pushed,

A piano can be played,

Embroidered sheets are on the beds,

Pure luxury displayed.

 

A cellar holds champagne and gin

And whiskey, plus fine wine;

The ceilings, walls and rugs throughout

Are regal by design.

 

This doll house was a gift but not

Intended for a child.

Queen Mary, in her 50’s,

Was delighted and beguiled.

 

If Windsor Castle’s in your plans,

Then stop and pay a visit

To this doll house, just like yours or mine,

But slightly more exquisite.
