"Hi i'm tour guide Barbie"
If i hear that phrase one more time i'm going to puke
No offense to tour guides, but i have way more integrity than that
Just because i'm beautiful doesn't mean i'm stupid
but nope, beauty isn't on my side any more thanks to this little brat.
First she dyes my hair green. GREEN! Of all colors why that one?
Then because that's not good enough, she sticks a needle through my nose.
They just don't make pain killers strong enough
So i've got A pierced nose, and green hair.
"Hi I'm Punk Rock Barbie"
This is so not what i signed up for.
As if that wasn't bad enough, wait until you see the clothes.
Or lack there of.
Who wears electrical tape!
What am i, a trashy call girl?
How am i supposed to be taken seriously in a slutty little duct tape outfit, green hair, and a face that looks more like a pin cushion?!?!
Now she wants to decapitate me!
That's it, i quit.

Author notes
so i guess it may be more like a monolouge then a poem
But yeah, i pretty much terrorized all my barbies, i drew all over them peirced them, cut their hair, and dyed it to.
And sadly decapitated them as well, in part of an elaborate plot, in which they disobeyed the rules and the punishment was death

I like this piece it made me laugh and gave a lot more in the way of how you were as a child which a lot of these pieces have been missing. And for that reason alone you are amazing. so many pieces seemed as if the writer hadn't read the full prompt, but you nearly nailed it. MANY KOO-DOES.
the piece itself is hilarious and completely the barbie personality captured. I love this and think you really came closest to meeting the prompt.
((monologues can be just as much a poetic piece as anything so don't worry about any of that when you right.
Me and my older sister use to do much worse to our barbie dolls, such as ripping their limbs all off and throwing the pieces in to a cactus. >.> so no worries on all that.)) -
