this is a blatant rip-off of my friend Fireblossom’s poem “THE DEMANDING DOLL” which i recommend you go and read first HERE {i’ll wait} at her blog ‘Shay’s Word Garden.’ she does not know {yet} that i wrote this poem and i do not have her permission to use her character ‘the Colonel’ ~ i’m hoping she likes my poem {or at least likes me} enough not to sue me for copyright infringement. i don’t have anything of value, so it wouldn’t do her much good to sue me anyway. i know, it takes a lot of balls for me to do a take-off of her brilliant writing, but muse can be very insistent! he thinks very highly of HIS abilities and is always complaining about getting stuck with such a half-assed excuse for a writer {meaning me} ~ oh, well! please forgive me, Shay! oh, and all of the information below the music video about where you can purchase the doll is for real.
{blush} i just realized i misread “colonial” {as in a style of house} in Fireblossom’s poem as “colonel” {as in a style of boyfriend} ~ sorry, Shay!

Regina, the ball jointed doll,
was walking down the street
minding her own business and
singing ‘doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
when the Colonel pulled his gawd-awful
pink jeep up onto the sidewalk,
blocking her way.
“What the fuck do you want, Loser?”
Regina asked.
“You’ve got to help me” he pleaded
“talk some sense into that twin sister of yours.”
“Oh, right, like she ever listens to me…
besides, I don’t even like you!
So why would i help you?”
The Colonel looked like he was about to burst into tears.
“But I love her… I really do!
She says the baby’s not mine,
but I don’t believe her!
Please! Help me!”
Just then Regina’s boyfriend, Exitium,
came around the corner.
He didn’t like the Colonel either,
so he ran over and punched him
in the face twice, just for the helluva it.
Putting his ball-jointed arm around Regina,
he asked “Wassup, babe?”
She gave him a great big kiss
before saying
“Nothin’ important, sweetie.”
And with that they turned around
and walked down the street,
hand-in-hand,
singing ‘doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy do.’

lyrics ~
There she was just a-walkin’ down the street, singin’ “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
Snappin’ her fingers and shufflin’ her feet, singin’ “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
She looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine and I nearly lost my mind
Before I knew it she was walkin’ next to me, singin’ “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
Holdin’ my hand just as natural as can be, singin’ “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
We walked on (walked on) to my door (my door)
We walked on to my door, then we kissed a little more
Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I’d been dreamin’ of
Now we’re together nearly every single day, singin’ “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
A-we’re so happy and that’s how we’re gonna stay, singin’ “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
Well I’m hers (I’m hers), she’s mine (she’s mine)
I’m hers, she’s mine, wedding bells are gonna chime
Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I’d been dreamin’ of
Now we’re together nearly every single day, singin’ “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
A-we’re so happy and that’s how we’re gonna stay, singin’ “Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do”
Well I’m hers (I’m hers), she’s mine (she’s mine)
I’m hers, she’s mine, wedding bells are gonna chime
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, we’ll sing it
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do

Too good! I am laughing so hard I have tears rolling down, and Bosco wants to know what’s so funny. Sista Poet, you can blatantly rip me off any time you want to, if this is the result. It only makes it better that you misread “Colonial”!
The Colonel is a jackwagon! I am still laughing.
i knew you’d love that i misread that!!! thanks for your permission, Sis! ♥ ♥ ♥
PS–you should put this at Toads open link!
already done. xo
Just another new year’s eve brawl then :-)
with a cheery ending.
Happy New Year.
yup! {smile} happy new year to you, aprille! ♥
I loved this! Especially after reading the poem that prompted it! Perhaps there is a collaborative book in your future. If so I want a copy. It is sure to be hilarious! Happy New Year!
thank you very much! much appreciated! ♥ Happy New Year!
Very clever, Dani!
thank you, Mary! ♥ Happy New Year!
My godfathers! Isn’t that a ridiculously over-priced doll?
I love your take on FB style – and how you picked up where her story left off. Very cool.
Happy New Year!
not only over-priced but rather creepy with two sets of feet and two faces. {smile} thank you so much for your visits and kind comments throughout the year, Kerry! ♥ Happy New Year!
wow, when I played with my Barbie, she was far more civil… I guess I never had a “rage” Barbie… Only Malibu, and she was pretty chill… even after I cut her hair into a shag:-) Happy New Year!
{giggle} i LOVE that ~ “rage” Barbie! thank you so much for stopping by, Laura! ♥ Happy New Year!
What a riot of a fun Dani ~
Wishing you – doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy do & Cheers for the new year ~
{smile} thank you so much, Heaven! ♥ Happy New Year!
And…thank you for supporting Poets United Poetry Pantry this year, Dani!
i love Poets United! thank you for all of your support through 2012, Mary! ♥
How fun! You had me laughing. I hopped over to the “muse” and it was great, and I can see why you were inspired. Have a Happy, Healthy New Year!
thank you, winnie! ♥ Happy Happy New Year!
You and Shay ought to collaborate more often!
http://www.kimnelsonwrites.com/2012/12/31/your-essence/
i can’t come close to Shay’s level of writing, but she does inspire me!! thank you for your visit and comment, Kim! ♥ Happy New Year!
fantastic, happy New year http://llmcalling.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/happy-new-year-2013.html
thank you very much, Emma! ♥ Happy New Year!
This is hilarious! Happy New Year, Dani!
thank you, Laurie! ♥ Happy New Year to you!
This cracked me up!
i don’t know if Shay read it before i discovered my mistake of misreading “Colonial” as “Colonel” ~ i can just picture her sitting there saying “who the fuck is the Colonel?” {smile} wishing you a very Happy New Year, Kelli! ♥
Good thing you misread “colonial” as “Colonel” or your story would have been missing a protagonist.
This was fun. I enjoyed it. Have a super 2013.
K
LOL! i know!! thanks so much, Kay! ♥ wishing you a very Happy New Year!
ha what a fun story story dani…full of attitude all the way around…happy new year to you…
thank you, brian! ♥ i don’t think Shay will ever let me live down “the Colonel” {smile}
What a riot Dani! Loved this!!!
thank you, Audrey! ♥ it was fun to write!
So clever, dani. Do you know that your song choice has a way of turning into an earworm for me. Arrrgh! And thus the New Year begins! Have a happy one.
ooops! sorry, Victoria! ♥ it could have been a worse song though, couldn’t it? happy happy new year!
Dani… you just entertained… wow, i can picture everything so clearly… and you do know how to rip our jaws with your humour… well worth of a sue for c. infringement if ever… lol…
peace & love for the rest of the year…and yes… smiles… happy new year…
oh! thank you so much, Kelvin! ♥ you are too kind! happy happy new year to you!
oh my..ha…that was fun…and i got an earworm now…Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do…smiles
so sorry, claudia!!! ♥ you and Victoria both said the same thing about the song! it had been rattling around my ahead before i wrote the poem. {smile} happy happy new year!
Fun story! and that’s the way of it! also the way of inspiration and imitation as flattery and forms that work, really work. Haven’t heard this song in a while, may not forget it for a while either!
Shay/Fireblossom’s poetry is always amazing. i still can’t believe i misread “colonial” as “colonel” and she’s never going to let me forget it! {smile} thanks so much for your visit and comment, Susan! ♥ happy new year! {sorry about the ear-worm song!}
Lol… this one have a dancing rhythm… Happy new year!
thank you so much for stopping by, sreeja! ♥ i hope the new year is off to a good start for you!
