Dear Editor:
I’ve got to trim my hair today.
I can’t wait ‘til the month of May.
I’ll just cut the sides and back.
Clip, clip, clip. Hack, hack, hack.
Darn! I trimmed too close to the scalp!
What’ll I do? I need help!
I have to hide my messy mistake!
I’m stressed out! I’ve got a headache!
Maybe a head band will do the trick.
I need it fast! I need it quick!
I know! I’ll go to the dollar store!
I’ll buy three or four – or maybe more.
If they don’t have what I badly need,
My hair will grow like an unwanted weed!
In that case, I’ll just grin and bear it
And be a long-haired freaky furry ferret.
Sandra Owen,
Fergus
