Going Back to my Roots

Hello Poetry Lovers

I know hairdressing techniques have changed unrecognisably over the years, and a good thing too.

However, there is one thing I can’t get round and that is models flaunting their dark roots! The photos on my own hairdresser’s walls are full of half blonde and half dark roots.

What the Hell?! That was always a No-No! Such a slovenly crime once. I didn’t dare go out the door with one peek of a natural root. Always covered them up in interesting and difficult ways.

Anyway, I’ve penned a poem about this outrage. Do read on

Roots

Roots, like red and green,

should never ever be seen

But they’re dotted round the hairdressers

Photos of models in half-dark tresses 

It used be to looked on as slovenly 

A sign of neglect and being unlovely 

Why did I stand for hours using a paintbrush?!

With foul smelling packet colour bought in a rush 

Anything to get them covered up and gone 

So my bleached blonde was groomed and shone 

Now glamorous girls let them all show 

Making sure the whole world would know 

I’ve missed the bus for this semi dark haired foray 

Because unfortunately now my roots would be grey

Phew! Enjoyed that little tirade! The World is changing so much but I thought hair roots would stay intact(!). I think there’s a hair piece in all of us, so poems on a postcard please…..

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry action real soon……
