I'M Bored With Hair

I'm so bored with all this hair.
                          Would go bald if husband didn't care.

                            As a tomboy I played alot of sports.
                               Thats why mama kept it short.

                      Papa said a woman's hair is her crown of glory.
                       But mom said thats just one of his old stories.

                            When I shampooed I couldn't get it out.
                            But when combed I'd scream and shout.

                            Now that I older it's getting thin on top.
                                 Mabee it's time to find a wig shop.
                                                            Teresa Skyles

This is really fun, Teresa. I much enjoyed it. Wigs are probably the best way to go when we get really old. haha. It's a pain to keep up a great "look" Luv, andrea
