Molly Mouse
by Sankey

Hello, Sankey,

Beautiful poem about a door stopper named Molly Mouse. She is so cute :). I think I can make one ... But there's only one Molly. The presentation is perfect for the poem. Well done my friend.

    Thanks, Gypsy, I guess you were not there for the first verse or you would not have seen this addition. Glad our friend can fix her up. Sorry the rewards ran out I think.

Seems all has worked out in the nick of time. That's always good. Now Molly will keep her happy home, and you will get much more enjoyment out of her.

    Yep for sure, mate. Did you see the first verse before? I have a feeling only if you did not review the first verse are you able to see this second and first now? Thanks for the lovely review.

This is a heartwarming, obviously autobiographical, story of Molly, your beloved doorstop, her near loss, and the ingenious solution to accomplish her resurrection. She surely will bring years of happiness to your lives.

(Your poem clearly is hugely exaggerated, as is my review.)

    Thanks Don. Seeing you got to review with the new stanza I guess you missed it the first time around. Much appreciate your equally exaggerated review hehe.

What a shame Molly has started to leak her sand. She would certainly be gentle on your feet. I hope you can find a suitably 'soft' replacement - and one just as pretty.

    Thanks Judy Louise said it is only her nose leaking so I reckon her embroidery friend could probably fix her up.

Isn't there any way Miss Molly Mouse can be repaired. I bet she can. I have often repaired things that we dear to me. May not look as good but the item is still am important part of our family. I don't look as good as I did 30 years ago. LOL Thank you for sharing your wonderful story/poem.

    Hi Barbara thanks for the lovely review. She needs a new "suit" hehe. Those pictures were taken in her much younger days.

This is so sweet. Molly has been a good mouse, and I know you'll miss her. This poem goes to show how difficult is to part with some of our "treasures" even though they're past their prime. It's amazing you had the door stopper this long. This is a charming poem, with excellent rhyme and flow, and it definitely strikes a chord to anyone who has things they hate to part with. judi

This is a good poem. It's a very interesting topic to write a poem about a door stopper. I would probably not have thought of that. I think it would be a cute door stopper as well.

A very well-written story/poem about Molly Mouse your doorstopper for thirty years, who now finally have her full lifetime running out and must be replaced with something new.

    Yep Sis would love it if someone could give her a new coat. These photos are when she was much younger and more colourful. Faded a lot now. Thanks for coming by.

    Thanks Dolly I believe the lady who gave it to me actually made it herself which was even more special. I am just so sorry I have not been able to make contact with them again as they went to New Zealand.
