Was about a fantastic lady.
She could always smile from ear to ear.
She’s the doll that came to life: Barbie!
Always lovely – always fun;
Long blond hair and pretty in pink.
Though stereotype, she was not dumb;
Is much smarter than you think.
Barbie was even philosophical;
Wondered about life and death.
When other Barbies just wanted to have a ball;
She thought about her last breath.
Otherwise, the film was quite entertaining.
The colours in Barbieland were pastel and bright.
And all those Barbies, they could sing.
And all those Kens, they could fight.
Barbie would drive around in her own car.
And even though it had no engine,
It could go quite far.
So, ecologically it was just fine.
You had to love that pink Barbie house.
It simply had no walls;
With no place to hide a mouse;
But makes it easier to reach the dolls.
There also was a Doctor Barbie;
a President Barbie;
a Judge Barbie;
Garbage collector Barbies;
Curvy Barbie;
and even Weird Barbie.
Let me add some extra Barbie jokes:
A man goes into a toy store;
Sees Barbies on a shelf in a box.
It’s his daughter he’d like to buy the doll for.
He asks how much it would cost.
All types of Barbie have the same price, you see;
But one is expensive and costs the most;
She is called Barbie the Divorcee.
Because she comes with all of Ken’s accessories;
She has Ken’s car, his house and yacht.
Barbie even got Ken’s money;
Poor Ken – he lost a lot.
Here’s another joke that is not mine:
It’s a pun for you:
What do Brits call Barbies standing in a line?
A Barbecue!
And I have a riddle for you;
It’s the last one:
If Barbie needs a doctor, what does she do?
She goes to a plastic surgeon.
Back in the movie, Ken loves his Barbie;
But she just wants to go her own way.
This is tough on Ken, so that he
Comes to realise that he is ...
... just as happy to have fun with all the other Kens and Barbies to have a nice day.
Barbie has always been on her toes.
But when she saw she got flat feet;
That caused her lots of woes.
However, Barbie would not accept defeat.
She pulled herself up because she knows;
With lots of humour and with singing;
She’d get back up on her toes;
So she could go Scottish Dancing!
So, Gentlemen: Raise your glasses!
Here’s to our own Barbies;
Here’s to all the Lassies!
