Fry Betty Jean

Bonnie Jean destroyed someone's hair
On a dare, yes, on a dare.
She was arrested, which I felt was fair.
There was hatred in the air.
She meant to do it, that was plain.
The woman with the bald head will never be the same.
Fry her, I yell as loud as I cry. Tie her to a tree, starve Bonnie Jean!
I am all about vengeance, for my hair is too unsightly to be seen.

Hmmm...did this come about because you had your hair professionally done? I'm sure they didn't fry your hair, Caren. I do believe that some hairstylists can be vindictive and take it out on a customer they don't particularly like. I know of a real case...with Deb. She never went back to that woman.

It written as a reply to a photo writing prompt where irate was a mug shot and the name was Betty Jean.
