Her Rainbow Hair is So Ugly

Her rainbow hair is so ugly! Her mother said to me on the phone.
I was only half listening now, reaching for a second scone.
They were blueberry and chocolate and yummy with caramel.
“I am sure it is not that awful,” I told my daughter, ShellMel.

I had also had my hair dyed that week into rainbow colors true.
I especially liked the reds, the pinks, the purples and the blue.
My granddaughter came into my house on Christmas day and began to smile.
Her hair was not half as colorful as mine. ShellMel was not happy for awhile.
