Matell's silver lining
By Snodlander
22 December 2006
When it finally comes down to it, it's always about the money

“JD!  JD! There’s trouble!

The toy chest is a sight.

There’s nylon hair just everywhere,

Ken and Barbie had a fight.”

 

The junior executive

Was pale with fright and fear.

The worst case he could clearly see:

No Christmas bonus next year.

 

“She had a fling with someone.

We think it’s GI Joe.

And Ken’s a fan of Action Man

We don’t know where that will go.”

 

“Calm down, calm down”, said JD.

“No need to shout and cry.

There’ll be a way to save the day

And push all the prices high”

 

“I know!  Divorcee Barbie!

We’ll charge a leg and arm.

You’ll get Ken’s clothes, his house, who knows,

His car and his pony farm.”

 

“There’s only one thing missing

We’ve been such silly fools.

If we had seen he’d be that mean

She’d have had his fam’ly jewels.”

You can take the house and ponies 
You can even have the car 
but you have to leave my sequinned shoes 
that would be a step too far!

This is fabulous, Snodlander. That is a great ending. 
 
And we've all caught the same thing! A serious attack of the frivolous! Mind you, all my youngest is doing in school today is hymns and a quiz. 
 
Now back to baking and hoovering I'm so crazy about.
