Gi Joe

In the great wide world of children’s toys,
whoever thought of making dolls for boys?
Such a brilliant idea materialized long ago.
The company hatching the idea was called Hasbro.
This doll made for boys is called “GI Joe”.
He has uniforms from all branches of the military.
Joe sports all kinds of sophisticated weaponry.
He can speak after you pull his string.
Whoever thought of such a clever thing?
He was popular then, and is still strong today.
GI Joe appears to be here to stay.
