Storybook Dollhouse: The Tale of Miniature Lives

My storybook dollhouse has only begun.
I might be a child, but I’m not that young.
I’m building the house from the ground up,
Putting items in place, each plate and cup.
My house has a living room, dining room, den,
A kitchen to eat, bedrooms to sleep, and then,
Bathrooms for bathing, a nursery for baby,
An office for working, and a playroom, maybe.
I’ve painted the walls and papered them, too.
Don’t worry, I’ve left space just for you.
The fixtures are gorgeous, the attic unique,
The basement has a door that makes a squeak.
My porch has a swing and a garden with flowers.
If I was a miniature girl, I could sit there for hours.
The windows are big; there’s even a checkered floor.
The ceilings are high. Who could ask for more?
Now I’m waiting for my romance to be real,  
All grown up, this would be more than ideal!
