A long long time ago, all the Bambi Muse baby despots' governesses read them the boy poet Paul Legault's first collection of verse, The Madeline Poems. But Baby Marie-Antoinette wasn't a part of Bambi Muse then. Now, though, she is. And just a couple of nights ago, while gobbling glamorously away at a soft chewy cherry cream cheese croissant, Baby Marie-Antoinette's governess, Countess Brandeis, read her a little lyric from Madeline entitled "Madeline As Stone, What Is To Die Of You?" Here is Baby Marie-Antoinette's close reading of the poem.
"Dolls seldom have teeth. Still, I want a doll's tooth," commences Paul's poem. On the contrary, a lot of dolls possess teeth. Most of Baby Marie-Antoinette's dolls too. Like queens, dolls, unfortunately, share an environment with humans, so teeth are required to bite them and harm them and make them feel like the sordid specimens they are.
Due to the enjamb, Paul appears to be saying that he wants a doll's tooth, in general, but, when Baby Marie-Antoinette's governess read her the next and final line of the poem, Baby Marie-Antoinette found out that Paul wants a doll's tooth for a specific purpose -- to serve as a wedding ring, since Doll's teeth are cute, and so are some weddings, like the one between Miss Geist and Mr. Hall in Clueless
