Hair's Fair Share
Thought I had the ugliest hair
in the whole neighborhood;
rebelliously stiff and coarse, hard-headedly
thick and crude;
long or short, gel and comb it fought
like it was made of wood,
like a furious porcupine bristling at you
if you're rude;
but then at our high school reunion
it made me feel good;
though unkempt 'twas the object
of salivating envy
of those who paid dearly
for a hair transplant or a toupee;
so now about my hair I have a happier
point of view:
just comb it slow,make it glow, so it won't
abandon you!
