I have a god
made in my image
god shows up in the mirror
awful in wrath
slow to forgive
god has a ponytail
and little patience.

A song for this:
Phlamethrower by AJJ
What's your opinion my friends
Think I'm going for the ponytail trend
Covid shut down
The barbers in town
So the obvious solution the rules to bend
Bingo goes where he does;
Throws his money on the table;
Sandra braids her ponytail;
Says she not in love with no man;
All hail, all hail, yeah;
Gambler goes to jail;
Sandra talks to Mable;
Bingo doesn't get bail;
Shouldn't steal the money;
All hail, all hail, yeah;
Mable ask Sandra isn't she married to Bingo;
Sandra said while touching her long hair no not any more;

I haven't had a ponytail
Since I was very young
And even then, most likely,
Into braids my hair was hung.
When frizz set in, I chopped my locks
And thus the die was cast,
So ponytails and pigtails were
A remnant of the past.
But when I see a jogger
With her ponytail a'bounce,
Its jaunty whipping of the air
Seems like it does announce:
Just check me out! I'm oh, so cool
And confident and fit.
So feast your jealous eyes -
I'm the epitome of IT!
Abigail Kirk lived in outback town Burke,
A hotel receptionist, she had a slight quirk,
Her rather long ponytail stretched to the floor,
After a few years it had grown much more,
She sold it to ten bald men and retired from work.
