Mom’s Poem about her Raggedy Ann and Andy Collection
In Nineteen Seventy-three,
I started a new family tree
I was at a flea
market,
And there I
found something neat
Just lying
around
I looked at the faces on the tin,
And just like
that, I began to grin!
I had an idea
as plain as could be
I would make
these dolls just for me.
Raggedy Ann and
Andy were born
And walked
right into my heart and home
I’ve made their
bodies and painted their faces
I’ve even made
them different races
And all as
sweet as cotton Candy
Two-hundred and
fifty-three
But each is in
their place
They sit very
quiet –
And I love them
all,
The thin, the
fat, and the short and tall
(Yvonne 2003)
