Its a Hair Affair

I can see you stop and stare At my horrible purple hair I declare ,life is so not fair For I tried and tried to repair This miserable hair affair Some advice Id like to share Of changing appearance be aware Follow directions with great care Or you may gaze with sad despair ........ At a head of purple hair Just written in jest For the new contest

Think I'd rather see the purple hairs than the gray, Barbara. And purple hair seems to be quite "in" with the young set today. Very witty, well done monorhyme! Best wishes for the contest. Love, Carolyn

Nothing wrong with purple hair Barbara, it's a lovely colour. I have different shades of grey, with black streaks. It's taken nature years to perfect. Good luck in the contest >> James
