Come on Sara Lu-lu...
lets go braid your hair.
It will be so much fun.
You'll look so precious... 
they'll bounce when you run.

Alrighty Precious?

Here now sweetie
You can stand at my feet while we do it.
Please tip your head back.
See...that's all there is to it.

Okie dokey my little lulu?

Please...don't wiggle
and try not to fidget.
No it won't take long.
Just give me a minute.

Okay Sweetums?

Sorry my dearie for all this tugging.
I thought I remembered how.
Just try to be patient
I've almost got it now.

Here we go

I SAID...you must be patient.
There's only one more tangle.
Stand up straighter!
I can't reach you from this angle.

Dooo you hear me?... huh,  young lady?

NO!...we're not finished
Not going to say it again.
Stop all that whimpering.
I'll let you know when.

SARA LOUISE  GODFREY! *%#!$%^&#  stand still!

Don't make me get angry.
BE quiet!...I've had about enough.
Shut off those waterworks...
Don't make me get tough.

I MEAN it  miss priss!

My neck is all twisted
my eyelids drawn tight.
I think she just muttered '
ahh! it's not worth the fight'.

and then...

There now my darrrling
let's just turn you around.
Here...let me see.
Aren't you just beautiful?
Oh goodness me.

That wasn't so bad,
now was it my hon?
Hmmm...why don't we try curls next?
That will be so much fun.

This brought back memories! My Mom used to sing to me as she brushed and styled the very long hair I insited (and still insist, lol) on having. To this day, I can remember singing "Old McDonald had a farm," (take my mind off it by thinking about the next animal, she was GOOD), "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," and many others-thanks for bringing back the memories with your poem.
