My Curly Hair; A Sonnet
Okay. This is working. Just a little more water.
Wait! I lost my hair tie? Quit trying to hide!
Alright. I'll just comb through here. I think it's shorter?
SNAP! You broke my comb, curly hair! At least I tried.
Curly hair, we always fight whether it's night or day.
You break my things whether they're hard or elastic.
You started this war and always get the last hooray.
You broke my brush last week and it's made from plastic!
Curly hair, you are beautiful, but you are crazy.
You make me proud to be who I am.
I can't imagine what I'd do if you were any more lazy.
Just please, no more wrestling, you always put me in a jam.
Fine curly hair, you win this round.
I'll just wear a headband and no one gets hurt. We both like the way that sounds.
