Barbie, My Doll - Ld

The Lost Doll Contest Sponsored by: Charles Messina Placed 2nd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barbie was its name… To me how it came… Difficult to proclaim! By its side, I used to sit, Leaving it not for a bit… This, I promptly admit! Call it not a doll, it’s my plea… In it I found an innocent glee; It was almost a sibling to me! It was the month of May; My cousins from Bombay, Visited us for their short stay! With my Barbie, they all played; Their hands on it they all laid; Cut it into pieces with a blade! And threw it into a river, I was told; My anger then was uncontrolled; And till now, I am left unconsoled!
