Short Bouffant Poems

Poor man who thinks
         real ample he is, so in vain
         in front of Everest,
         is simple dwarf,
         in Sahara desert
         a tiny grain... !...

She’s ravaged in success
I am love me less
She boy
And her house
We built
To see more loss
In your market
I thee exiled
Partitions
And blinds
Trapped? Tracing your minds
Periods and plural’s i wound
A bouffant in blooms

A radiantly coiffed bouffant was mine,
    fit perfectly and curved to the nines.
I stood taking in the awe of counterparts 
   let them eat cake I chuckled in my heart.
The spring roll rumbling in my center
   drifted to the lower parts no longer indentured.
I held my breath and prayed
   that no sound or scent would stray
I wanted to drop to my knees
  Oh God, please, don’t let me sneeze....

In this decade: pizza, soda, 
Colonel Sanders, 
burgers only fifteen cents;
"Tutti Frutti," 
sock hops, "mooning," 
Rock and Roll (monumental consequence);

Rosa's bus ride, 
suburbs, fluoride,
escalating sales, 
vaccine for polio;
Mickey Mouse Club, 
Haley, Hitchcock, 
Davy Crockett, 
drive-ins,
 Fats Domino;

Causeless Rebel crashing car, 
bouffant hairdos,
 "har dee har har;"
Elvis on TV

 and ME....

The 60s brought changes to hair 
Today, they would make people stare 
Bouffant look was in
Made puffy from thin 
And teasing- it was the big flare. 

I was one of those who partook 
In those days, it was the best look 
But when it was done 
I still had some fun
In styling it by my own book.

These days, I still tease it a bit
Shaped smoothly, it will nicely sit
And hold fine all day
A touch of hairspray
I'm good to go, well-groomed and fit!
