#870 – We Can Tell

We Can Tell
Only her hairdresser knows for sure.

Cut my Hair

It grows at an alarming pace
and dangles well beyond my face.
It truly is my mane disgrace:
I think it’s time that I should cut my hair.

I’ve tried it in a dozen styles.
They only seem like dunes and piles
of hairs that flow for miles and miles.
I think it’s time that I should cut my hair.

Don’t ever long for locks like mine:
these lanky, loopy twists of twine
that sprout like creeping kudzu vine.
I think it’s time that I should cut my hair.

I chopped it off, but sad to say,
it only looks much worse this way,
and Wednesday is school picture day.
I really wish I hadn’t cut my hair.

The full title of this doodle is “We Can Tell It’s a Wig”. Nods to Zooey Deschanel’s beautiful bangs are entirely intentional.
