Hey There Barbie Girl! Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Hey there, Barbie girl
Dreamin’ of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can't always run away
Don’t be so scared of changing and rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf....
a little bit....

Her name was not Barbie it was Jasmine Fiore.
Her latest, and last, beau was Ryan Alexander Jenkins which she did adore.
They were married in the month of March, in ‘Lost Wages’, uhm, Las Vegas.
With the entire fake Venetian atmosphere,
-fake Egyptian pyramids,
A Fake Caesar’s Palace,
This apparent “Barbieesque” model and her fiancée would feel at home.
“Beware the Ides of March”, to Julius Ceasar the soothsayer said.
Ryan being a reality show player, his BS, very few would condone,
His father was rich, Ryan was spoiled,
-and Jasmine had a fixation to a Barbie in real life,
They were a couple of mixed up kids.
Apparently reality went wild one day in the past.
Their love wouldn’t last.
Ryan killed Jasmine, around August 15th
-and put fingerless, toothless and mutilated body into a suitcase,
she was grotesquely dead.
Police identified her body by the implants that she to augment her fake bust line.
Ryan then ‘split the scene’ and went British Columbia,
-an international manhunt began.
It ended August 23rd in a little motel called the Thunderbird.
All was beyond Hope, coincidentally that was the name of the little town,
That was where the first Rambo movie was filmed, I heard.
Ryan was found dangling by his neck in the room.
It’s sad that fortune and good looks,
By the case of birth or surgery could bring forth doom.
