The Talking Doll Goes To The Job Fair

I don't have a resume at all.
I am very small.
I talk out of turn

I will never learn
but you'll like me, after all
I am a cheerful doll

you may get tired of,
after a while
when I can't reach the files

with rooted hair. 
eyelashes out to there.
though I confess

as far as the dress code goes
I've just got the one frock I came with,
with it's baby rose...

don't dock me!
or clock me,
I can't tell time.

though Im pretty good at rhyme
and trudging through the snow
when the bus can't find me.

I do my best.
not dressed to impress.
and wander on

with my little song
in the Coliseum
with no per diem.
