Hair Today

A Bit ‘o Whimsy

HAIR TODAY

So sensuous is she, so alluring.
Mysterious; is she a courtesan
Or a black widow spider? Either
Way, her presence sucks you in
And fills you with desire; your
Feelings couldn’t go much higher.

And her hair! Such hair! I
Have never seen such hair. Oh,
To be betangled in that sensuous
Hair; it is to feel quite strangled
With desire…for more hair…
On my head. Such a head!
Hair today, bald tomorrow!
If only a great wig I could borrow.

But it’s unfortunate. She is yesterday,
I am tomorrow, never the twixt shall twain.

But oh, such beauty! Such beauty is rare,
All in itself, so never mind the hair.
Love her for what she is, the beauty that is her,
From near or from afar, my heartbeat is a purr.

–H. W, Bryce
