The State of His Hair

Girls and boys pick up your toys Your playground has been shut. There’s a man out there with greasy hair hellish hankering in his gut. That’s what we thought till Joey’s father was caught. He was clean shaven with neat crew cut. ©Kathryn McLoughlin Collins July 15, 2012

Hi Kathy - Another good one with an excellent point. Can't tell a book by its cover. Your poetry "shows" this well without telling. The best kind of writing. Thanks again for your positive feedback of my poetry. - Gail

What am I missing? However, it IS 10:49pm and I'm sleepy... still, I do enjoy poems that cause me to scratch my head and wonder. Love Keith
