Priorities

Only one
of my assets
qualifies
as glory crown.
Pampered hair
plumps my ego
and has drained my pockets dry.

Permanents,
dyes and rinses,
cuts and sets
salon shampoos,
never missed
hair appointments,
as if it matters at end..

Congrats on your win, Joyce! You have described the beauty routine of many women, and wow, do we spend a lot of money on our 'dos. Love and Blessings, Rhonda

Yes, the hair is one of our "costliest" of assets. Cleverly done, dear. Congrats
