I Finally Did It

I watched the movie, Barbie! (on Netflix)

Haiku Reviews/Summary as follows:

If you don't like "pink,"

You might think this movie stinks...

More so for a Ken!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All is in order

In the beginning...then "oops,"

The universe flips!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Barbie falls apart...

Then seeks to repair herself;

Even Mattel implodes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ken gets a wild hair,

"Testosterone" explosion!

Fight for dominance...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vagina search on

For Barbie, a real one please!

To match her new "me!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ken is still confused,

Stays behind with his stick-horse

No power for him :(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I saw no merit

In this film except Margot

Who could truly act!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    hahaha - I have kept from watching this one and you have given me confirmation - have you ever noticed how the Academy darlings, the ones with reviews and must sees- usually are barnyard scraps? Ugh

    Well done for catching up. I thought it was fun for the first 30 mins but got a bit esoteric after that. Loved the multiple haiku approach

  • Ditto Dharrsheena’s comments 🤣… all I know about it is how difficult it is to walk down the stairs with her feet rigidly set in high-heels Barbie dolls position 😳.

    You painted it nicely. Congrats to Margot's.

  • I've still not watched this movie, lol. Your Haiku-review was very intriguing. I loved it!
