Miss Christy Sambristy, a Little Tale

Miss Christy Sambristy had way too much hair! When you visited, hair was on every couch, and chair. It stretched all the way outside her blue and red door! If she tried cutting it, the hair just grew more and more! It was a diddly-dop puzzle; what on earth would she do! She tried running away but the hair caught in her shoe! She tried braiding it, but the braid spilled out onto the street. People had to jump up and down to avoid stepping on it with their feet. One day a man, name of Mr. H. Goodman Sinclaire said “I could make many coats with those reddish locks there” He was a coatmaker, turned scraps into coats he gave away to poor children absolutely, completely, in every way making their day! He called his friend, Moquilla R. Gorilla, and told his plan Can you call somebody to help us, if you please, my man? Moquilla thumped his chest 5 times, called gorillas far and near Miss Christy Sambristy will give us her hair, if we can find a shear. He read the Gorilla directions book for hair-cutting ways. It won't be easy to find this, it may take twenty days. So bring me some shark fins dipped in green ocean foam He spread it on every hair, ON EVERY LAST HAIR HE PUT green ocean foam! Miss Christy Sambristy is one happy girl Her hair is short enough now to curl Mr. H. Goodman Sinclaire is happy, too He decided to take all the poor children to the zoo! Did I mention it took three hundred and one fat gorillas to carry Miss Christy's hair home! March 31, 2023 for "Write A Sweet Fairy Tale for Children with a Happy Ending, etc. contest by B.J.
