Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Why My Fingers Are Burgundy

My fingers are blood red, but not bloody.
If adults were here they might be wondering; it looks like Kool-Aid.
Most probably from my handy burgundy hair dye touch up paint.
I spritz a bit of it on my part when I start to look like a red skunk.
Luckily I work with children who have not noticed that or my white streak.
Which makes me wonder why I even bother with it.

L Milton Hankins May 28, 2022 at 1:18 PM Oh, I think the white streak would be nice! I have, despite what my PS pic indicates, beautiful snow white hair now. I got it from my grandfather. I dyed my hair for years, but when I stopped, I was pleasantly surprised. Me and Phil Donohue! L Milton Hankins May 29, 2022 at 10:38 AM Hmmm...I probably look at least a hundred, but it's a lot cheaper this way! Caren Krutsinger May 29, 2022 at 3:13 AM I have had the white hair and I look six thousand years old with it. So it is not for me.
