"The man behind the door, sometimes he is outside the door, he knocks. But who is the one within?" Lasty tells his wife.
She is a doll maker. He says, "I wear the inner tuxedo."
She says, "that's quite a tale."
But Lasty dresses his dolls. He washes his dolls. He does their hair. He makes them smile. He buys them little dogs for them to play with and he takes care of their dogs when the dogs get other dogs and for all we know the dogs of the dogs will get dogs.

Lasty's dolls are of all kinds. He has lots of little girl dolls. They are playing tea party. The barbies have to wear clothes. But he has dogs and bears and lions and foxes and dolphins. He has horses and seals and cats. He has Erik the Red, Raleigh, Columbus and St Branden. Lasty is pretty busy. He has to write to coaches of dolls. He has to buy doll equipment, schedule doll practices, take dolls to the track and time their runs. He has to see that dolls do their homework. But he is messy. His room is never messy. His house is never messy. Come on over to Lasty's and see for yourself. Tomorrow he may be painting dolls.
