I Think I'Ll Just Go Gray

I Think I’ll Just Go Gray I thought blondes would have more fun, Wasn’t true, became one – myth. I covered the blonde with brunette Trying to see how far I’d get – nowhere. Now red will surely suit, I’d get a man with lots of loot – forget that. The colors rubbed my pillow Whether red or brown, or yellow. So because my pillow loves me true, When others are not that true blue, I think I’ll just go gray.

Smile! I liked the observations within your poem, though I'm not sure artificial blondes leave yellow stains on pillows. I am as grey as it gets and actually prefer it - the best alternative for me would be to shave the remaining hair off, perhaps not a popular option for ladies...

This gave me a smile:) I went gray early, but never bothered hiding it; in fact I quite like it this way! On reading the title I thought you were playing on words...referring to poet Thomas Gray:) // paul

Well, isn't it always better to accept ourselves the way we are created by God?? Great way to point that out:) by the way, thank you for your visit to my page:) my grandma did have such bangles but I haven't got them, it was just fiction, Sunlite:)

Ha, a rainbow infusion, sounds a lot easier to just be who you are, even when it's gray. :)

This was funny, I loved this colorful look at how we change though still remain the same. This was really fun to read, I think I will read it again.
