what is a song kind of like the poem "barbie doll" by marge piercy
"this girl child was born as usual
and presented dolls that did pee-pee
and miniature GE stoves and irons
and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy.
then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said:
you have a great big nose and fat legs.
she was healthy, tested intelligent,
possessed strong arms and back,
abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity.
she went to and fro apologizing.
everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs.
she was advised to play coy,
exhorted to come on hearty,
exercise, diet, smile, and wheedle.
her good nature wore out
like a fan belt.
so her cut off her nose and her legs
and offered them up.
in the casket displayed on satin she lay
with the undertaker's cosmetics painted on,
a turned-up butty nose,
dressed in a pink and white nightie.
doesn't she look pretty? everyone said.
consummation at last.
to every women a happy ending."
please help! (:
