my dolls and I take tea,
and days when I have raisins,
the catbirds dine with me.

Amazing collection of doll "art," Tab.
Was really taken with Empereur Ojin Poupée; wonderful work.
And I actually recognized David Bowie before I read the title. :-)
I absolutely love the verse!
Love the quote... and all the beautifully costumed dolls!
