A Girl's Black Hair

when I
young I

was well
and tell

my friends
split ends 

my hair
not fair

but clean
not mean

I wash
and brush

my locks
like ducks

to say
like fay

I sing
and swing 

and fly
not cry

to dry
not fry

under
hot air

my own
full grown

long hair
black hair

love you
just you

sweet you 
black you!
