Ends

This word ends can make one think,
how many ends are there?

I needed the ends of my hair cut.
What happened when they cut too much off?
I needed to wear a hat for weeks.

Lets drive to the ends of this road.
It is a dark and quiet place.
We can watch the sky filled with bright stars.

Will a ship sail off the ends of the ocean?
Years ago many thought this to be true.
We now know this is to be false.

I will follow you the the ends of the earth.
Will you really?
No, it is just a saying.

The ends justify the means.
Maybe yes or maybe no.
Guess it is the way you look at it.

How many ends does this story have?
The one from the writer.
The one from the reader.

Panagiota Romios Date: 1/12/2025 11:20:00 PM Awesome fun, really great write,I get that hair cut “ thang.” Ugh, A nightmare. What I did in California is find a very expensive one,and he was really outstanding as far as hair coloring anything et al. Then I went to another hairdresser and he was as good as the first. Only Second one was so good, You could go for months with no haircut. No wonder, he was a hairstylist for the Olympics! Tried to go to el cheapo ones and my hair looked hysterically funny…bangs like Mamie Eisenhower. Pangie Login to Reply Paula Goldsmith Date: 1/13/2025 10:13:00 AM Thanks for reading/writing.
