Tales From Prom Night

A cowlick springs up
  right when it shouldn't
Can a comb strike it down
  I'm afraid it couldn't

An application of grease
  looks to keep the peace
'Til - drat - it springs up again
  ~ I think you know when

Yes I do. I have the same cowlick, and my daddy did also.

If I get it right, you are taking of hair strands sticking out. I have experienced it and must say, they are adamant. Nothing works at times

You're right, of course: "Nothing works at times." Then again, how easy is it to lick a cow?! lol. Thanks, Rama. Peace, Gershon

Interesting... and revealing for me! I glanced at your comment, and what did I see: 'Alfalfa from the Little Racists.' I guess I'm 'overtaxed' with all the nonsense going on these days more than I thought, eh?! Postively Freudian. :) gw
