My Hair

My Hair

My hair that’s been long for a decade
Has cruelly been shortened tonight
We’re going “somewhere” to a wedding
And I have to look ‘just right’

So a pony tail isn’t accepted
And nor is hair swinging and loose
It makes you look wild and decrepit
Or ever so fond of the juice

I love my wife so I listened
To each wonderful word that she said
Then went to the barbers and told him
I should follow the book that she read

I came out of the Salon and left there
Rich silver locks on the floor
But I secretly know that tomorrow
They will all start growing once more

Originally from Guernsey, but now living in Sussex, UK, I started writing poems and song lyrics when I was 16 or 17. I celebrated my 70th birthday last year, and am hoping that I've improved a little during the years between. Been published and also broadcast on local radio. Would love to be rich just so that I could visit Canada more often.
