Their ma & pa were Eastenders
Blah blah..don’t remember the Blitz
Brash Cockney pretenders..same flash apparel
Let's get our mitts on a stash of Aperol spritz
Dimwits just going on benders
Bawdy tawdry mockney skits
Gits getting off their t*ts
Twits showing off their bits
Who fits?..Identikit Brits..pout
All about the clout of gaudy glitz
Silhouettes of stiletto dancers & handbags
Riff raff as naff as an 80’s cornetto
Perms & permatans..sl*gs..fancy dans in glad rags
Rhyming slang falsetto twang libretto
Chancers on a stag..s*ag nip & tuck hags
Nags of WAGS made up to the nines
Brag after cocaine lines did blag
One snag..look like a dag in drag
All from the fashion label stable
No restraint.. cannot refrain
Grandstand the brands fable
Diadora diaspora ..Fila Villa
With a Pierre Cardin Jardin
Taint just like they do in Spain
Sex..success…the way you dress
Prosecco fizz...getting in a tizz
Gilded specs and builded pecs
Greed and that need to impress
Avoid don't feed this schadenfreude hell
That is indeed called Costa Del ESSEX

Remember the time.
Remember the days.
Before the weave…..
After the straightening comb and fried dried perm, wig…….
When we were beautiful,
Oh, so black and beautiful.
When the character of black was natural beauty.
Full shaped, shaved afro, natural "angela davis beautiful"!
Afro
No chemicals, no perms, no madame Whoever
No purchased existential emulations of beauty from a foreign, shaved head
No synthetic being.
How can I feel beautiful with someone else’s hair?
No locks of beauty yet, yet, yet
Or fake braids down the back like you woke.
However you may have be born, you wore it, proudly.
But natural black beauty, real awoke.
Just our washed and sun-dried selves, picked out and afro sheen, clean pure razor-sharp black hair
Fists razed in defiance of oppression and beautiful.
“A natural,” they said
“Naturally, beautifully pure”
Now, WE ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL
Woke and beautiful!
A beauty that costs,
Nothing!
A beauty of the spirit
That has always and will always
BE NATURAL!

Do you know the tale about the guy who thought
two small, cute, fluffy poodles he had bought?
But they were not two poodles, for in fact,
the DNA of any dog they lacked.
Do you know what really those “dogs” were?
They were critters with perms put in their fur!
The buyer’s vet then had it verified.
The seller of the “poodles” had lied!
The buyer of them must have have felt so silly.
What were those two beady-eyed things really?
It turns out in fact they were ferrets. What??
Two ferrets given steroids the fool had bought.

With Jeff Cliff I've not been on good terms
For he's told Health Workers I breed germs,
Inviting them over for the worms
One sees and minutes on end just squirms:
"You don't mind the stylish hair Rose perms
All her pigs dirty, also their sperms".
It's animosity towards Rose
For being now to J. Timothy close.
Heavy truck Jeff could run over me
And a crushed me toss into a seas,
My struggles with bad sharks for Jeff's glee;
Only then would his chained mind be free.

When I dream
of seeing myself on the New Earth
I feel at home with the Lord
always the feeling joy, peace and tranquility
through the golden city of twelve pearly gates
no longer will I need to wear my glasses
no longer will I have to suffer from sinuses
menstrual cycles or neurotic disorders
because the father will reconstruct my body and soul
I dream of my face and hair
appearing as radiant as emeralds in the sunlight
no cover ups, filters, perms or dyes
more elegant than my mundane flesh
or even a gazelle wandering the fields
I will even wear brand new clothes
no jeans, t-shirts or flip flops
but an unspoiled gown of white fabric
more superior than
gleaming sapphires and rubies
mirroring those at the Transfiguration of Jesus

"Scripted on Tequila"
I used to love you! I cherished you! Thus you embraced me , you raised me, you shared me with the world.
I was a gift just as much you were to us....
Lies , why's , cries.....for her it was dice! Diced pineapples....naked on the beach infront of MTV , you wanted to impress the Empress l ain't talking Fergie! Nor Maggie! Yes Angie when you went full Speed l realised we were not meant to swim in the same Pool.
This is not Winnie the Pooh's episode , it is not Espionage not necessarily Nicky Minaj's butt but something beyond our control like Micheal Jackson ' s baby with Billie Jean .... feels so distant yet it was yesterday when Billy Ocean brought smiles to Men with perms and chains.
I will cut to the chase , get to that place . I miss us ! I miss you ! What you and l bring ....that is Tanaka , Tinashe , Tamuka , Palesa and Allegra our legacy , my blood....your blood together we are forever binded by life and so called love yet we gave up ! What is to be learnt from this chapter we scripted on Tequila?

When i first saw you
you struck me as beautiful,
i was captivated by your eyes
so alive and yes! so nice.
Your smile was cute, your nose as buttons
wrapped around your coat as mittens,
your arms were slim, your hair in perms
come together as well placed ferns.
I liked the way you smiled in glee
my heart in beats, my soul set free,
it seemed like a welcome invite to me
stunned a second, a minute or three.
Then i heard your voice in song
so shrill and high, could do no wrong,
i had to hear it once again
my heart is yours, to remain.
So dearest K, say you'll be mine
another siren will be hard to find,
let's start with a cup of tea
from there, who knows? please marry me?

People often say now I understand
When they hear that I'm from Paree
Not Gay Paree silly, but redneck
In the heart of Tennessee
I am the newest style of hairdressers
Here to lay out all the facts
I no longer work on the tops of heads
But straight out of the pits
It all happened when I got bored
With the every day to day
Trimming of the head left me feeling dead
That's when it hit me..."Underarm Braid"
That right there was my life saver
That right there was my turn around
If it didn't make me world famous
At least it did on this side of town
Now people come from as far as Nashville
To have their underarms done
I even gave a left and right pit Mohawk
To the Governor's daughter and son
What? Did you think I only braided?
There's so much more that I can do
Just ask the Punk Rock Chick's that wait in line
To have their armpits colored blue
My older clientele have let there hair grow out
Since it is they learned
I'm now specializing in for both women and men
Their favorite sets and perms
So feel the freedom of the pits
That hippie chicks have long since known
Here at Michael's Salon Of Pits
We'll do something special with that growth

they wear it as Afros, locks, braids and curls
they wear them as wraps, as perms or relaxed swirls
a woman's crowning glory
in a chignon, a bun or a ponytail draping down
short, long, kinky or bushy all around
upsweeps, page boys, flips or straight as a board
wigs, weaves or extensions whatever they can afford
a woman's crowning glory
be it colored gray, black, brown, blonde or simply red
a woman's crowning glory, the hair on her head
