Barbie From India

Barbie hails from India
With dark eyes and ebony hair
Slick and straight, soft to the touch

Her golden sarong is exotic and chic
Adorned with rhinestones and pearls
There is such a glitzy-ness to this Barbie

She must be of the highest caste I think
Nothing else would make sense
I get ready to put henna on her hands

The intricate hand markings that look like tattoos are also called henna.
