The Barbie Doll Flap

The Barbie Doll Flap By Elton Camp A group of folks are raising hell Asking a fat Barbie from Mattel Should a doll be impossibly thin Or preferable to have a double chin? Seems to me that what we’ve got Is the classic “tempest in a teapot” A girl won’t be traumatized either way For it’s just a thing with which to play A doll as a model she won’t seek As an ideal for her own physique Should Mattel make a Barbie fat There’s little consequence to that This flap never should begin Next will it be an enormous Ken? Shame on those who try to insist Common sense they have missed
