Hairways

by Rex Valentine (USA)

You’d think I was hair savior

the way she worships me;

as long as I prepare for

hairendous coifery.

She runs hair fingers thusly,

anoints my bushy scalp

with gel that leaves it mussy

until I cry for help!

I feel so hair and mighty

when she achieves “that look”

with hair that’s fluffed and flighty

as seen in picthair books.

Yes, I project the powhair

she helps me obtain.

Rapunzel from hair towhair

could nevhair be as vain.

Sometimes I get so weary

I desp’rately resist

the comb and brush, my dearie

wields in hair pretty fist…

to change my look completely,

reshape my crooked head.

But then she sighs so sweetly

when readying for bed,

that I forget my trials

and least of all my hair.

Beautician given styles

are not important there.

I guess it’s really worth it,

’till I arise at mom,

the mirror-oh, no, curse it,

looks like a unicorn!

But then, she gives me orders;

“Just wet it down like this,

and fluff it on its borders”

as she gives me a kiss.

She is my “hair” apparent,

I’ll give hair all I can,

at hair command I’ll wear it

because I am Hairman.
