National Hair Day

It’s National Hair Day - raise a comb!
Shake your tresses - write a poem!
Whether blonde, brunette or red,
Let’s celebrate what’s on your head.

Curly, wavy, frizzy, straight,
Pigtails or a single plait,
Buzz cut, Mohawk, updo, ‘fro,
Messy or arranged just so.

How we look, what gives us flair 
Depends, in part, upon our hair.
No matter what your style is called 
It’s yours to flaunt - unless you’re bald!

Woe is me, to be the heir of No-Hair. (Almost as bad as an hairless heiress). Thanks for the chuckle, ilene. ~ Gershon

I don't have much left to flaunt but I have a little. Very cool Ilene. You are a poetic stylist.

We all know it's the hair on the inside that matters. ;)
