I have a doll that I have had since birth. I’m not sure of the name, but my mom always called her Roly- Poly. At least I think she was talking about the doll. Roly-Poly is my most prized possession. I want to be buried with her. I sure hope I go first. Her boyfriend was for sale at E-bay but I felt that since she had been my only child for over 40 years, she might get a bit jealous so I didn’t buy him. He was cute, but he didn't fit in at my house. Poor child.

Roly-Poly had a boyfriend but it didn't work out.

E,(hope you don't mind that I call you that)

Your mama wouldn't call you Roly-Poly, would she?

If she did ,I'm sure she meant it with much love.

Now that I look at it it does bear some resemblence.

Do you have a small house? Just some cleaner humor!

Just joking.

Much Love

Haha! Thanks for the comment! Yes, very small house. Oh, and I don't mind if you call me E, but my real name is Lisa. I don't think I have that in my profile. Just an oversight.

Don't mind your oversight

don't let happen again

now I know your name is Lisa

and we can be good friends

Just don't treat me

like a "donkey in the shed"

unless you feed me real good

and come in and make my bed

and now my rhyme is over

by the way my name is Mike

I hope that my poetry

you will like

Much Love

Michael

Roly Poly is adorable. Too bad she couldn't get a boyfriend.

Michael, I promise not to treat you like a donkey in a shed, but he does look like he has a pretty good life!

Gypsy, it's for the best that Roly Poly doesn't have a boyfriend, he would probably just break her heart. Oh sure, it'd be all great in the beginning, but then he'd trade her in for a Barbie or Bratz doll. They're skinny, wear more makeup, and have exciting careers! =)

Lisa, I love your sense of humor.

I am working on that poem.

I want it to be good.

my thoughts are starting to roam

Isn't it always great in the beginning?

Did you like my reply and reference to yours

I would be your donkey anytime

and help you with your chores

as long as you read

some of your works to me

for this I would be so pleased

We would then be in harmony

Much Love,God Bless
