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.
