Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick #226 using the word
grim’ and for Sadje’s What Do You See?
#283. The photo prompt shown below
is our inspiration. This is my limerick.
BARBIE GRAZED IN THE VERY GREEN GRASS
WHEN KEN DOLL JUST HAPPENED TO PASS
WITH PIZZA BOUGHT ON A WHIM
HIS CHANCES WERE GRIM
COS BARBIE WAS A GLUTEN-FREE LASS
NOW KEN WAS AS DUMB AS STUMP
AND BABS HAD NO TIME FOR A CHUMP
SHE JUMPED IN HER CAR
AND SAID ‘AU REVOIR!
I’M LEAVING! THIS PLACE IS A DUMP!”

I’ve always thought Barbie could do better.

Gotta dig Kens cargo pants and Barbies pony tail. Momo has her Barbie and Ken from back in the day. She was going to give them to the granddaughters but the mama said the dolls were too explicit and toxic. I guess a doll can be too much. Right?

Yeah, Ken’s rockin’ that outfit for sure!
Explicit? Did Ken finally grow a pair? I’m unaware of that development! 😂

I think it was Barbies un-natural parts. Momo has her original Barbie, in the vinyl carrying case, with different outfits.

Our eldest granddaughter(now 16) had my Barbie, complete with case and clothes, until she was 13, then she handed it over to our 5 yr old granddaughter. I never had a Ken doll or any other accessories like a car or house. We created our own fun.

My sister had a barbie car and I built her a cardboard house. She cut her barbies hair off and made look terrible, they don’t make Barbie wigs.
