Sue peers in the mirror with fright Her parting’s a terrible sight On top of her head A badger - it’s dead Sue must use some hair dye tonight! She’d applied hair dye carefully Grey hairs Sue can no longer see All the grey is now brown She no longer feels down And styles her hair prettily 04/28/20

LOL, maybe I should dye my hairs - a bottle of it would last me 10 years

Hilarious! Don't know what's worse, turning grey, or seeing a dead badger in the mirror! So much fun, Jan

Ha, ha! I know someone who's afraid to 'self-dye,' and boy, is she ever turning gray fast. Oh, well... Better gray than grave... :) gw

I can't understand why someone isn't willing to get a box from the chemist and have a go especially if there is someone in the house that can help them and if I can do it anyone can!:-) hugs Jan x

Cute. I have been enlisted twice so far to dye my wife’s hair. It seems she is glad that I am Dyeing. I enjoyed this clever piece.

My husband says "don't you think you ought to dye your hair? In the back it is all white," and I say "I can't see the back."

I started going gray in my mid twenties - now its about 50/50 - but my hubby loves my gray hair and begs me NOT to dye it - so I gave up the dye! Funny limerick, and pix too-

some ladies can look so elegant with greying hair - same as men look distinguished .. but the grey look isnt for me just yet:-) hugs jan xx

I wrote the first stanza a few days back went for a walk and saw a lady exactly with the badger look and have seen quite a few in the shops. I'm so lucky my hubby dyes mine rather than go to the hairdressers and I hacked about 3 inches off the length lol:-) hugs Jan xx
