Toys ‘R’ Us Files for Bankruptcy, Disabled by Competition and Debt



The biggest toy store in the land is gone for good, they say.
So Ken and Barbie homeless are -- they have no place to stay.
The Legoes scattered like dry leaves upon the winter gale.
Slinkies left to rust away and train sets off the rail.

Where oh where are Power Wheels, and what’s become of Nerf?
They’ve hit the road like hoboes, pal -- along with Papa Smurf!
Teddy Ruxpin panhandles out on the streets so mean;
And Boardwalk in Monopoly is looking mighty lean.

So many shiftless toys about, unbought, unloved, unused --
It won’t be long before they think they have been much abused.
They’ll march on Washington D.C., demanding compensation.

(And Toys for Tots will scoop them up as this year’s prime donation.)
