Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

The Saddest Christmas

Twas the night of Christmas and in everyone's house

Not a toy could be found, just a computer and mouse.

It's the era of iPads, smart phones and Mac book Air,

What about dolls and cars and toys? No one cares.

Working for a corporation that has no soul

The desperate products like lumps of coal.

This is the end, for a time once lost...

You focus on political agendas and pay the cost.

There is no fun, magic, or wonder

Just a giant corporate plastic blunder.

Licenses run and the stock surely falls

There is no creativity in those grey halls.

If you only knew what you lost from the start...

That sad cold place has no heart.

Design is dead and you rely on a cup

Innovation from a guy who's hair is f*cked up.

There is peace to see in this final hour...

The slow painful death of an ancient dinosaur.

There are plenty of toys being sold (Fingerlings, LOL Surprise, Games, etc.). What you’re lamenting about is no one wants Mattel toys. why? Because they just aren’t interesting.

Don’t give us the BS about how corporate stifles creativity. LOL Surprise is just a ball with a bunch of junk in it but captured a market that needed something new.

Sorry your prose is quite bad

It’s really sophistication you lack

This Yuletide mockery’s borderline sad

Only proves you’re really a hack

Wow. This is how you spend your time? This is like something I would have written in middle school. Maybe part of the problem at Mattel is that there are people with the mentality of 13 year olds running through the halls.

Kudos to the OP! Very clever rendition of this rhyme and so true. The tech industry is where it's at, not cheap, uncreative, plastic toys. Bye bye MattHell. No one wants your Barbies.

Ha! everything my kids were gifted were hasbro princess or doc mcstuffin related. When i return to the tower it’ll be “clothes and barbies!” so everyone feels good.
