The Barbie Doll Flap
The Barbie Doll Flap
By Elton Camp
A group of folks are raising hell
Asking a fat Barbie from Mattel
Should a doll be impossibly thin
Or preferable to have a double chin?
Seems to me that what we’ve got
Is the classic “tempest in a teapot”
A girl won’t be traumatized either way
For it’s just a thing with which to play
A doll as a model she won’t seek
As an ideal for her own physique
Should Mattel make a Barbie fat
There’s little consequence to that
This flap never should begin
Next will it be an enormous Ken?
Shame on those who try to insist
Common sense they have missed
