It's all the fashion now you see
Short skirts, boots and make up to glow
Why is this you may ask?
Because Barbie says so!
A different oufit every day
Always looking perfect you know
Surely you must understand why
Because Barbie says so!
Thin as a rake, squeeze into those clothes
Remember that you're always on show
Don't ask me why, it's obvious
Because Barbie says so!
So eat your rabbit food
You'll be so thin you'll blow,
Away within the slighest breeze
Because Barbie says so!
Long blond hair sitting just right
Hair glitter to make it glow
You have to be the trendy one
Because Barbie says so!
She smiles at you with pearly teeth
An ad between that tv show
That smile sets off that glamour look
Because Barbie says so!
Sunnies on? a drive in the car
All pink and fluffed just so
Add Ken as the accessory
Because Barbie says so!
She rules the world in kids fashion stakes
Collect them all you know
She smiles and says you must look like me
Because the years have shown...I know!

I put this title on this list, hoping that the writer would write something as you have. Something fron the societal point of view, where girls/grown women even, want to be like the thin and perfect models they see on T.V or in stores. And now with those Bratz Doll things...(my sister's 5 so she likes playing with them
Things are just blown way out of proportion. -
true so very very true
it is all barbie's fault!! i hate her. thank you for this little poem of truth.
