Bad Hair Day

Washed and dried and fluffed and curled,
Sprayed to hold the look in place.
Into the rain and it unfurled,
Wet and flattened all over my face.

I know we have all experienced this at one time or another. This made me smile this morning and I know we would all call this a bad hair day. God Bless Phyl

Francine, you are really describing a bad hair day. Mine is usually short enough so I won't have similar problems. You have made Rick's choice tougher with this entry.
