Mrs. Popularity

just a little vented frustration

Such superficial aspirations
They plague you my dear
Tell me darling
Is your mind lonely?
No penny for a thought
For you cannot pay for nothing
Your imagination
So predictable and stereotypical
So dull and lacking
Much like your personality
Oh how you poke fun
At the unique and different
Though they have
The courage to be an original
Dear Barbie incarnate
I only wish to share the truth
You are as interesting as
The plastic doll you resemble.

Great job my friend

[C.C. Marx]

Thank you girly xx

[Wingless Fallen Angel]

Ahaha! This kind of tickled my funnies. Especially the "cannot pay for nothing" part. No thoughts, no pennies. :P It's true, though. There's a few of those girls in every crowd...

[C.C. Marx]

Glad to be of service! Ha I wouldn't write that if there wasnt some proof

[Riley Bray]

I can't stop laughing! I loved this poem because, well, there are some girls in my school that I absolutely hate and this sums them up PERFECTLY. Anyway, as for criticism, the line, "for you cannot pay for nothing," is grammatically incorrect. You should have the word anything instead of nothing, unless you meant to use slang. Anyhow, love the poem!

[C.C. Marx]

Don't I know it! Those lovely girls were my inspiration haha thanks for the critism it does sound a little awkward now that I think about it lol thanks for reviewing!!!!

[Riley Bray]

No problem, thanks for making me laugh!

[C.C. Marx]

My pleasure, thanks for letting me be the person to do it :)

[Toni]

Very, very good piece, I applaud you.
This is fantastic, and into my favorites it goes! :)

[C.C. Marx]

Awww thank you! and also thanks for the review :)

[Toni]

No problem :-)
Well deserved!

[C.C. Marx]

Aww :)

[redflutterby]

Never gave a damn about being popular or looking like anyone but me. We all want to be attractive but when unrealistic examples of "perfection" cause young women to starve themselves we have a problem. Love yourself as you are!!! Beauty comes from personality and your heart. Very good poem!!

[C.C. Marx]

I've seen every stereotype you can make, the wannabes, the queen bees, the fakers, the drama queens, the social ladder climbers, the political schemers, you name it, I've seen it and with one common goal: stay in that popular crowd. And honestly, doesn't all the effort to stay on top make them tired?? Thanks for the review :)

[redflutterby]

Lol...one would think so!! :-) and you're welcome.

[s y e]

OMG!

Loved this! Fabbydoo poem girl!

[C.C. Marx]

Shmancks darling, enjoy the sass ;)

[s y e]

Haha, sassy C.C ;-) Da bestest

[C.C. Marx]

Some people deserve that sass!! I wouldn't say anything if it wasnt warranted

[Rose Kavanagh]

I also know girls like this and some of them could definitely use a reality check :) Fun, sassy poem, I like it.

[C.C. Marx]

Don't I know it girl!! They need a nice slap in the face with reality haha thanks for the review

[Rhianne Ney]

This is a profound write and a well and interesting piece,
Barbies are Mary Sues right? someone that popular might've been so perfect

[C.C. Marx]

I'm not sure what a Mary Sue is but a Barbie is a brand of plastic dolls that always look perfect in a fake way, thanks for reviewing

[Rhianne Ney]

Mary Sue are very perfect individuals that you can never relate to them

[C.C. Marx]

I see so in a way yes, except the perfection isn't really perfection it's the stereotyped version! Thanks for the interesting connection

[Rhianne Ney]

You're welcome and my pleasure (:

[Androglossia]

Ahaha! This is genius. Guess this is intentionally made for married women because of the tile although Barbie could be anyone else regardless of status. This is going into my favorites:)

[C.C. Marx]

Awwww thank you!!! You can take it as that or those girls who are fake not only appearance wise with the ridiculous make up bet metaphorically speaking too

[Muse]

Dear Barbie incarnate
I only wish to share the truth
You are as interesting as
The plastic doll you resemble.

This is so powerful...I know many teenage girls...and some Orange County housewives that truly need to read this!

[C.C. Marx]

Why thank you, those orange country wives could use a wake call don't they?

[Muse]

yes indeed! Even Barbie won't look good on botox at age 80!

[C.C. Marx]

Nope even Barbie is jealous of their plastic faces ;)
