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
