[SIZE=6]BARBIE DOLL
This girlchildwas born as usual
and presented dolls that did pee-pee
and miniature GE stoves and irons
and wee lipsticks and cherry candy
Then in the magic of pubrty a classmate said
You have a great big nose and fat legs
She was healthy ,tested intelligent
possessed strong arms and back
abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity
She went to and fro apologizing
Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs
She was advised to play coy
exhorted to come on hearty
exercise, diet, smile and wheedle
Her good nature was out
like a fan belt
So she cut off her nose and her legs
and offered them up
In the casket displayed on satin she lay
with the undertaker’s cosmetics painted on
a turned-up putty nose
dressed in a pink and white nightie
Doesn’t she look pretty ? everyone said
Consummation at last
To every woman a happy ending
!!!!!!!!!!
