Poem
To help you with your history class These all happened in the past February 4th to be exact And you can take it all as fact The year was 1959 – the Barbie Doll was born Kids thought it just a doll – Critics called it porn Created by Ruth Handler – a founder of Mattel She named it for her daughter – was she endowed as well And later when the Ken doll was brought into the light She named it for her little boy – who never seemed quite right The year was 1938 when Disney showed the world What 7 little guys would do with one Snow White – a girl They held her in a cabin way back in the woods Made her cook and clean for them and pick up all their goods Then somewhere in the story – she faked her own demise A prince came to her rescue – the dwarfs were none the wise The PLO was founded in 1969 Yasir thought it would unite divided Palestine But peace – it did not happen and is not close at hand They haven’t got a home yet – they just squat on Israel’s land Patty Hearst was kidnapped in 1974 By the SLA from Berkley if you’re keeping score They thought they had a gold mine with ransom money on the way Then she showed up in the photos when they robbed the bank one day Our Pat was disillusioned and so she joined the crew And gladly fought against “the man” like all good terrorists do But when the girl was captured she changed her sweet refrain “I really didn’t have a choice – you know they washed my brain!”
