Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Rhyme

Remembering the 1980's

The eighties ignited a hair bomb
With Siouxsie And The Banshees
Cyndi Lauper and Platinum Blonde

With enough Final Net and a thorough tease
Your hair would stand up to the stiffest breeze

Tim Smith November 1, 2018 at 7:42 PM I do remember "big hair" but sadly much was a blur lol Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 4, 2018 at 10:12 PM LOL Tim Smith November 2, 2018 at 6:45 PM Those were blurry too lol Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 2, 2018 at 12:45 PM Lol!

Carolyn Devonshire November 1, 2018 at 3:51 PM Very creative approach to the contest! That wild-hair look dodges into the '60s and the present as well, Maureen. Cyndi's still sporting it and it's still hard to get used to my mailman's ever-changing colored hair and beard. Today you "stand out" more if you don't have this look! Enjoyed, Carolyn Carolyn Devonshire November 4, 2018 at 12:04 PM Would love to see a photo of the "rainbow colour trend." Also, wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your comment on John Lawless's poem about squirrels laughing at dogs that wear clothes. You have a keen sense of wit, Maureen! I'm a fan. Hugs Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 2, 2018 at 12:42 PM True dat! I've embraced the rainbow colour trend but lean towards the 20's bob ;) xomo!

Chris Green November 1, 2018 at 3:10 PM That was funny and brings back memories I had hoped I had forgot. :) But you know what they say....Girls just want to have fun-un Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 2, 2018 at 12:40 PM It's all we really wa-a-ant! ;) xomo!
