ODE TO BARBIE

 

(c) 2017 Edward York.

 

 

Christmas was approaching,

And it became clear,

From the hustle and bustle,

It was that time of year.

 

Presents were needed,

In the crowds I would race,

It seemed Barbie was homeless,

And needed a place.

 

Habitats for Humanity,

was nowhere in sight,

I was left on my own,

In solving my plight.

 

I found my solution,

Came packed in a kit

And all that was needed,

Was to put together it.

 

I had parts and pieces,

All scattered about.

But we couldn\'t have Barbie,

Just doing without.

 

It was a two story mansion,

With a lamp that gave light,

Furniture for Barbie,

And walls the right height.

 

An elevator came got you,

Wherever you are,

And a garage that would open,

For a little pink car.

 

A pool for relaxing,

And a grill that\'s out back,

And all that was needed,

Was for me to unpack.
