SPIKED HAIR

Another of my mad verses.

I was born

yes I know you were as well

but please be patient

let me continue to tell.

I was born with spikey hair

stood upright

made people stare

my poor mother

tried everything to no availe.

Cut it short they did

like new mown grass,

but I had as much as I could take

when I reached an age

that all youth do

let your hair down

but with me it needed glue.

So I let it grow long,

tall as it could

spiked upright

with a hat on top.

Care not what people think

now I'm older in my years

and fairly bald,

the only bit that sticks up

is clumps around my ears.

 Reviews of "SPIKED HAIR"
Reviewed by D Johnson
Reviewed on July 22, 2009
John, the first time I was close to someone with spiked hair was a young mman who had his patch of purple and gold pointing to the sky. It was in Pioneer Square in downtown Portland, Oregon. The lad sat next to me on a brick wall outside a Starbuck's and we sat there for an hour and a half talking about the human condition. One of the most stimulating conversations I've ever had.

The moral:
You should not judge the content of one persons thought, by the direction of his/her hair.

Cheers,
Dan
