I Love My Hair

I love my hair I always toss it around in the air As if without a care! I love my hair Once I caught the super hair bug Caught it whilst I slept on an old rug The super lice were playing scratch, scratch, and scratch While my fingernails were playing catch, catch and catch Finally my hair was shaven as there was no cure, no other drug I wore my head on my shoulder for a while with a distasteful shrug Hiding underneath a cap with obvious bald patches that seemed to match I love my hair Long, golden plaited and brown Enough to move heads around in town People just want to come near And stare! Stare at me! Who is that alien from elsewhere? My hair is beautifully plaited in strands This kind of hair fashion is high in demand So many different styles to experiment with and expand Today a woman needs to look good, do you understand? I talk to my hair with oils I say today I need you to curl And when I style you, Stay in place, do not spoil! I wash my hair twice a day Maybe when I am old, it would go grey But for now the beauty is here to stay I hope so, I definitely pray! Beware all, take care I love my hair, I love my hair Don’t touch! But you can stare You can stare at how I wear My beautiful hair! Try and out-do me if you dare! I love my hair I like to show it off Around me do not sneeze or cough Or with you I can be horribly tough Around me do not sneeze or cough If you don’t want to know the meaning of rough I mean it, this isn’t a bluff! I love my hair! Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi
