the doll collector

was she mad,
crazy,
a loon of some sort.
perhaps.
or maybe she just liked
collecting
life like
dolls of her favorite
stars
from the past.
there on the table stood
Lucille Ball,
and over there,
the brother and sister duo
Donnie and Marie,
when they
had a show.
is that Dolly Parton
in the corner
staring at me?
leaning forward, almost
ready to fall
down?
I see Andy Williams
in a glass enclosed
shelf,
next to John Wayne
wearing a gun belt.
and then the centerpiece
on the table,
Dorothy from the Wizard
of Oz,
next to the scarecrow,
the tin man,
and the cowardly lion,
holding his tail.
