A Barbie doll is perfect:
you can see it all over her.
She has lots of friends, it seems.
the list of names grows each day.

With every new season
comes a new friend for Barbie,
and also a new Barbie.
The old ones are packed away
and forgotten.
There are so many to choose from,
who should we play with today?
Barbie dolls aren’t just for girls,
the boys love her too.
A Barbie doll is fake.
Be careful, Barbie,
If you stretch yourself too thin,
you’ll break.
Barbie does everything, it seems;
she tries so hard to not try.
She spends hours
making herself look effortless.
But Barbie isn’t special.
There are millions of other Barbie dolls,
they could buy her anywhere.
But she’s still Barbie,
so they don’t mind.
Barbie sparkles when she walks.
But when you get to know her, after a while,
she gets boring.
A Barbie doll shouldn’t talk,
so why does she talk so much?
Too much talk is bad.
Trends are temporary.
Yours has come,
when will it be gone?
I used to love Barbie
when I was younger and naive.
Not anymore.
A Barbie doll is plastic:
you can see right through her.
