Sneaky Humidity

“All dressed to kill; please don’t let it rain!”
Hours spent with flat iron
Straightening out the curls
Here comes sneaky humidity to undo this “do”

In high school I was the only cheerleader whose hair didn't frizz in the humidity, Dimples. They whined about it all the time, but straight hair was never what I wanted. Very funny entry for the contest! Hope to see your poem in the winners' circle, dear. Love, Carolyn

'VERY good one because I can relate to it the times I curled my hair and lost the whole "do" to dang humidity or rain. So you are my old friend Audrey, right? Where did you come up with THIS name? and what happened to make you upset when you blogged the other day? soupmail me if you have time. Luv, Andrea

Well my hair is something I don't have to worry about too much. However, you have described everything here quite well.
