She made her grand entrance
With not even one hair out of place
(Her head was bald)

She walked on stage
Soft golden curls
Calvacading round her face
(She looked like an angel divine)

Then as the seasons changed
Her hairdo had to be replaced
It was a bit too curly, not the right color
Not the right length
She paid the beautician
To get it just right..
(Typical teen)

Winter came
Her hair had turned to snow
And one by one, the snowflakes
Were melting from their place
As they softy drifted down hill
The winds around Mt Baldy
Gave me a big chill

And I laughed to think
How far I had come
Hairless and toothless
Back to stage one.

. . . and to the beginning of the circle.
Enjoyed the read, songbird.  I can relate to the hair cycle.

Bumpintine
Bumpintine
Won't a bump
be mighty fine
Another trip
around the forum
cause I think
it's awful boring
without a little
bump or two
Here's one from me
just for you!

Happy Bumpintine!


Are we having fun yet?

Well, here is another bump because I love this poem. I get the seasons of age out of it, and so much more. I enjoyed this.

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.
