Comb Over

Z Z Top and Cousin It took the right approach
     Dark sun glasses and beards detract from scraggly hair
Next time my motley hairdo meets with reproach
     Combing forward I’ll consider, sparing the Nair



*For Rick's "Bad Hair Day" contest

    ZZ are a brilliant Southern Rocking Boogie band. It's ironic that the drummer is called Frank Beard. Good luck in the contest Carolyn....:)

    I wish I had some hair to comb over. A few scraggly hairs that I try to keep out of my ears. Enjoyed mucho. I would love to visit, but at present I'm trying to save up enough money to visit my son in sunny California. Thanks for the invite. Love, Dave
