An Ode To Hair

Does what it says on the tin

Smooth and soft

Spiky and sharp

Curly and rough

Light or dark

Worn loose or attached

In colours that match

Pulled into a frown

Or just hanging down

It protects our eyes

And our sensitive skin

It breaks or falls out

And can even grow in

You can do with or without

"Let it down" or "pull it out"

It catches our tears

Or grows out of our ears

It tickles a chin

Or hides a grin

It decorates toes

And sticks to clothes

It can be shaved or dyed

Curled, braided or tied

Combed into a quiff

Or parted to the side

Be kind to your hair

Even if you don't care

Because let's be fair

It may not always be there

this is very good
unfortunately I am being cursed with the results of the last line

Ha! I knew a young guy once who got an ulcer from worrying about his thinning hair. I share your love of hair, except when I find one in my mashed potatoes. Good, entertaining writing, my friend.

Ouch! Poor guy! I agree that hair and food should not mix. Thanks for reading!

[Gee]

Guess you'll be off to warmer climes soon !!
Enjoyed the read, 58 and mine ain't for leaving.

Thanks for reading! (Un?)surprisingly, this was inspired by a conversation about shaving! ;)
