50's Hair, If You Dare

Crewcuts, flattops, pompadours
  Cowlicks, ducktails, side parts
  Clean cuts, Ivy Leagues, slick-backs

  Where have all these hairstyles gone
  No longer do the cute chicks fawn ...

Dread locks, Rat tail, Mullet, Mohawk, Rainbow colours that make oldies baulk Matted hair that needs shampooing Peroxide locks that leads to ruin. Hair is suffering as I speak, All this paraphanalia makes hair weak. One day you'll have no hair left, And you will be hairless and bereft.

You know, you're right, Shirley. All that new-fangled stuff just makes natural hair fall out. And for what?! To look a peacock?! Vanity, vanity, all is vanity. ~ Willy Spear-Shaker
