My Hair

My friends say my hair's got "BODY",
My friends say my hair's got "LIFE",
I don't know what to do with it,
But it's causing me some STRIFE!
My friends say "People would pay good money for that",
My friends say it "looks fine",
Well I just wish it wasn't like this,
And that it wasn't mine!
My friends say I'm a "YUMMY MUMMY",
My friends say "Wear your hair with pride",
I just want to stay indoors,
And find a place to hide!
My word for this is FRIZZ,
It's as plain and simple as that,
So if I can't straighten it,
I'll just hide it with a hat!

Hi Joe.. I like your play on words... I wrote this for a friend of mine, she was having a bad hair day. :-)
