A LIVING DOLL
Mommy, but I don’t want to go.
I worked all night on this stupid costume
and you're going to smile
and dance
and have
a good time!

Mommy! Don’t tie my shoe so tight.

A M.A.S.H. Note

and it's cold

and the doctor will warm himself
over the opened wound.

Could anybody look on that
and not be changed?”

“Why don't you feel what I feel when I care?”
-- “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” the Monkees
