Crazy Hair Day

We often have crazy hair day at school
To raise money for puppies, or wigs, or people who need a fresh start.
People do all kinds of things to their hair.
Mine is already crazy, it is fly away out-of-control hair like my father’s.
I have to do nothing on crazy hair day,
because my hair is already there.
However, I do not want the children to feel disappointed.
Color is covered, it's burgundy.
I usually start looking in my desk drawer for ideas, then ask my
friends to attach as many things as they can to my hair with paperclips, and rubber bands.
I am a “hot mess” when they get finished.  
The peculiar thing is, the children are so used to my winsome
ways, no one notices as I fly through my day, leaving a trail.
