    I like this one. I think you should not omit the article "a" however! a barbie doll without a head. what inspired this dark one?

    Hey Ruben..I don't care about the syllable count ;) [I think the child who did this would get noticed & the headless doll would get noticed, 1..the other or both] teething child/the Barbie doll without a head..hmmm ;) Light & Love
