Teddy Bear Gets Haughty With Me

In the land of the old gray mare
Six meters behind the lion’s sweet lair,
There was a gnarly raccoon who did up hair.

He took little money to be absolutely fair.
His hair styles did have a certain flair.
Disappointment in his work was really rare.

A haughty ant went in without a care.
The fashionable raccoon pointed out “your head is bare”.
The aunt huffed off mad, really on a tear.

I feel this story I can reliably share.
You see I was in there, sitting on a tiny stair.
The anger was wafting for hours in the air.

Please do not give me that condescending look, teddy bear.
You after all, are not even wearing underwear.
I urge you to tell this tale better, if you dare.

I had three "airs" I did not use, but I ran out of wanting to do any more rhymes.
