Memory Lane - If You Were... a Toy

 

If you were a toy, what kind of toy would you be?

Would you bring love to the world and me?

Would you be new toy or soft and yellow and old,

Dressed in 1920's linen or made of pure gold,

A collector's item priceless and proud,

A toy that would stand out in a crowd?

Or a doll that says, Crikey! when you pull that funny string,

Would you go beep beep or even sing about some ding-a-ling?

Would your nose grow when you pull that thing

A toy to be deserved n' stuff?

Would you be an action figure buff n' tough?

Would you love your maker, counting blessings just for you,

Would you be a toy wishing you could be a shoe,

Ready for the world to have some fun?

Would you be a toy on the run?

Would you have a tail or a double-bun?

Would you have a soul, an intricate clockwork made in Spain?

Would it be digital or would you have a brain?

Would you be a toy with a vision?

A windup toy or boasting Swiss precision?

Would you be a Pixar car in collision?

Would repairing you require an incision

Or would you be replaceable?

Being brittle and all, not ready for the fall?

Would you be cheap or quite the wallet wanker?

Would you be a Hank Tank or a toy boy banker?

Perhaps a boy toy playing in a toy boy band

Or a RealDoll in demand in Oh La La Land,

A naughty toy, somebody's pride and joy?

Would you be shockingly sinful or incredibly coy?

Would you bring luck

Or smile when you think

Or sink like a little blue duck?

Tell me: what kind of toy would you be?
