Dying To Dye Her Hair
She was dying to grow up
So she could dye her hair like her grandma
Grandma dyed her hair to match her dresses
Every Sunday at church- lavender, blue, pink.
When she finally reached eighteen
She rolled the die to figure out her color.
Pink? Blue? Lavender? Rainbow?
What a lovely figure she made at church that Sunday.
You look just like your grandmother! Someone said.
She adored her new dye job.
She continued to dye her hair in rainbow colors
Until she died, alone but very pretty.
