'Twas our very first Barbie... (original poem) PDF Print E-mail

 

By Shara Lawrence-Weiss, Mommy Perks

 

'Twas our very first Barbie

And to our chagrin

Her clothing was lacking

It gave us a spin

 

We searched all around

For clothing to buy

Lingerie, strippers

Nothing would fly

 

We walked into Wal-mart

Seeking a break

Slutty attire

Was all for the take

 

Nurses and doctors

Bosoms and butts

Soon we did find

We were stuck in a rut

 

re-dressing_BarbieCourtney, our nanny

Came up with a plan

We'll start a business!

Re-clothing the clan!

 

Taking our Barbie,

With behind a'show'n

Paper was wrapped

Now Courtney's a-glow'n

 

Oh, won't you look!

Won't you giggle with glee!

We now have a Barbie

That's less than slutty!

 

Courtney is happy,

My daughter is numb

Why do these Barbies

All seem so bumb?

 

Give us some brains

And give us some class

Give me a Barbie

That's more than just ass

 

Give me a Barbie

Who might understand

How to explain

Her purpose at hand

 

Hard working women

Females and moms

We're more than just booty,

High heels and bombs

 

We're smart and we're brainy

We're clever and kind

Where is THAT Barbie?

Why can't we find?

 

Sadly the Barbie

Was placed in my car

Stuffed in the door

From my daughter, afar

 

Come now you dollies

You toys and you games

Teach my dear daughter

For what she can aim

 

Toys we shall buy

That stimulate brains

Our very first Barbie

No longer remains

*The Barbie was given to my daughter as a gift. We did not purchase the Barbie ourselves.

Fantastic! I hate Barbie, and am seriously considering banning her from our home. Daughter is 3, and has not shown interest yet...

My daughter didn't show any interest until her friend at Preschool brought Barbies for show-and-tell. Then the Barbie fever smacked her in the head :-x My mother gave my daughter an American Girl doll for her birthday this year so we're focusing more on that right now - and talking up how great the fully dressed historical dolly is. LOL

This was hilarious, and oh, so true.

My firstborn has a few Barbies that friends gave her for her birthday, and I brought some of mine from my parents' home for her to play with. The interest waned quickly, though. She'd much rather read mysteries and play outside.

Outside is great! We love the outdoors and my kids would LIVE outside if we allowed them to. Hmm... Perhaps I can use her Barbie in a flower pot to scare away birds while the kids play outdoors? (Kidding - that would likely be brought up in therapy later on in life: "Do you KNOW what my MOTHER did to my Barbie?!!)
