Enough To Curl Your Hair

I'll ask you kindly, if you'll please! Don't tell a soul, my odd disgrace! Without a doubt, it is my shame... I cannot tame, my tangled mane! Did you know....my wayward hair does not play fair? It's almost more than I can bear! Well, now you know, my strangest woe My locks will grow two feet a night! An awful plight,.... this frightful sight is not a joke, no laughing matter! And if I stuff it, in a hat..... it looks like rats have raised a litter! Unless I tuck it in my hat... the cat attacks, jumps up my back and digs it's claws into the thatch! It isn't easy, to detach, she makes her bed and sleeps the night upon my head! It weighs a ton....and it's no fun to keep my head upon my shoulders! By afternoon my neck gets sore it must be cut each day by 4:00 to keep from sweeping up the floor! Such a chore...that I abhor! I can't ignore my tangled locks that strangle ankles and my socks! And then I trip....and then I fall and that's not all...... but must' not bore you any more...! Keep my secret, if you please!! It isn't easy being me !!! ...................................

Really cute Carrie. My hair does seem to grow that fast too. It is perfect length one day and horridly long and limp the next. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

Hello Rapunzel. While reading this, I could hear the late Edward Everett Horton narrating one of those 'Fractured Fairy Tales' cartoons. Good entertaining write.
