Marcela lost her life
to a smallpox vaccination, she
had it to prevent it
but died regrettably
her parents never gave their consent
but she was given it anyway
Raggetty Ann stood for the grief
her parents had clearly
anti vaccination
the doll took on that role
a symbol against having them
and the death of one sweet soul
