Notes About The Poem

I'M a Barbie Girl

D'YA KEN* KEN - I'M A BARBIE GIRL!


My hubby has a doppelganger
This guy ‘Ken’ I’d love to meet
as hubby’s twice  been greeted with ‘Hi Ken’
when we are walking down the High Street


I’m dashing out to buy a blonde wig
So if he’s mistaken again,
I can then be Barbie to his Ken

*’D’ya Ken’ is a Scottish phrase which means ‘do you know’
We were walking in our capital city Douglas and a guy walked past and said ‘hello Ken’ we thought it was just a case of mistaken identity until we were at the hospital yesterday and it happened again. I would love to meet this ‘Ken’ to see the likeness to my hubby!
