Blue Hair

BLUE-SHAPED hair is styled to rigid perfection by rows of orderly, PINK curlers BLUE-NOTES from an "Oldies" station linger, a calming WHITE noise to soothe BLUE-SCENTS of expensive musk linger, permeating the YELLOW walled salon BLUE-FLAVORED grape juice is thoroughly enjoyed by thirsty GRAY haired patrons BLUE-VELVET blouse, worn by an elegant BLACK woman, is admired by all. Pink shaped flamingos dot the salon decor, bringing a nostalgic feeling As notes of white laced doilies punctuate the mood of times gone by In an atmosphere of musky scents, the little parlor glows in a yellow haze With gray heads of wisdom and manners, their words flavored with grace To dispel any black mood with a velvet word of care, wearing their BLUE HAIR.

I'll echo Ian's comments on this one, Laura, it caught me on the hop but works on further readings, so I think you can safely say that you pulled it off. I'm sure you will do well. Viv x
