Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

She's Dyeing

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

Jack Horne May 7, 2020 at 2:33 PM LOL, maybe I should dye my hairs - a bottle of it would last me 10 years

John Watt April 30, 2020 at 10:54 AM Hilarious! Don't know what's worse, turning grey, or seeing a dead badger in the mirror! So much fun, Jan

Pashang Salehi April 30, 2020 at 1:36 AM You're truly something else... Thanks for the smile... Jan Allison April 30, 2020 at 2:27 AM I always smile when I see your avatar Pashang:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf April 29, 2020 at 9:40 PM 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 Jan Allison April 30, 2020 at 2:27 AM 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

Richard Lamoureux April 29, 2020 at 8:39 AM 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. Jan Allison April 29, 2020 at 12:27 PM as long as you don't dye yours Rick I find greying men so attractive lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2020 at 6:23 AM 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." Jan Allison April 29, 2020 at 12:27 PM lol Caren:-) hugs Jan xx Richard Lamoureux April 29, 2020 at 8:40 AM Good answer. Perhaps he will order a pair of chaps.

Michelle Faulkner April 28, 2020 at 5:40 PM 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- Jan Allison April 28, 2020 at 5:43 PM 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

Ilene Bauer April 28, 2020 at 4:53 PM ha! i think many women (and surely some men!) are feeling the same way these days! very funny, jan... Jan Allison April 28, 2020 at 5:20 PM 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

Rico Leffanta April 28, 2020 at 2:23 PM She is not too old to cut the mustard if she can still see to do that! What colour are her ear hair? Thanks for the laugh, Jan! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison April 28, 2020 at 2:35 PM ha ha ha not sure about the ear or nasal hairs .... now tell me should they be dyed or plucked lol:-) hugs jan xx
