Woke up late in the morning

Had slept way past my bedtime

Looked into the mirror

Thought I saw Einstein?!!

 

Shrugged it off

Maybe the workings of a fuzzy brain?

Sneaked a peak again

Saw it was my mane!!!!

 

Horror, shock and then a loud shriek!!!

Anything God!!! But not THIS trick!!

A bad hair day is something I can do without

To be fair, this one took a long time coming about!!!

 

Out came the relaxants, serums and gels

Tried everything, but

My hairs bad mood refused to quell

Thought of extreme measures too

Maybe a jump in the well?

 

A French braid? A pony?

Nothing seemed to work!!

A bandana? A Stetson?

Now that would be wayyyy beyond my quirks!

 

I prayed, I begged

Tried everything in the book

My hair refused to relent

No matter how horrible I looked!!

 

The efforts were exhausting

Sat down and gave up hope

Thought of all the bald people around the world!!

Positive thinking helped me cope!!!!
