Notes About The Poem

Aging Gracefully

Sally found her hair was turning gray Looking younger was what she did pray Alas, hair kept graying And her heart kept praying Even though her mane was on display She wasn’t too keen on the new hair dye Still decided to give it a try Weeks later, out came roots Her hair was in cahoots Glad she had a touch up to apply Now that Sally has new hair color Her hubby often gives a holler He gets a brand new gal One he likes to call pal Because she doesn’t spend his last dollar

Hello Regina … I nodded my through each limerick stanza. Obsession with hair has created a huge industry. Natural is best I reckon - thank you Regina - Lindsay

If Sally looks anything like that picture, I'd holler if I were her husband: HELP!! ~ Here's to the 'Black-and-White Era!' lol. Cheers, Regina!

This really made me smile. I tried dying my hair and found I was so allergic to it I ended up in the hospital. And that was a hypoallergenic dye too. Guess I must be allergic to the basic ingredient. Nice job here. God Bless, JB

Truly expresses my feelings as fighting the gray seems an unending task these days. Love the Hair pic...maybe if I could dye it enough different colors the gray would seem to just be one of the crowd.

Love the hair and the poem! I want this hair so badly now! My husband loves it when I dye my hair. I have been a blonde, brunette and redhead; he likes redhead the best. My hair is burgandy now.
