Hair Platoon
©1994 by Susan Noyes Anderson
My hair marches across my head.
Left face. Right face. Full speed ahead.
A hair platoon, in disarray,
With soldiers who will not obey.
Some stepping here. Some strutting there.
Some standing straight up in the air
At full attention, as they please.
I’ve had enough, Hair. Stand at ease.
Obey my orders. Call me ‘Sir.’
Dismissed. Fall out!
(Oops.)
As you were.

So darn cute, Sue! love it!
Is this called a bad hair day? Cute photo! {:_Deb
Sometimes you crack me up!!! This was hairlarious!!!
Not Fall OUT! Are you crazy?
Don't you sometimes wish you were a man and could rock the shaved head?
Or that we lived in the days where hats were cool everywhere?
Me too.
This is how I've been feeling lately!
That was truly funny!
That is so great...especially since I'm contemplating a "new do"!
Hilarious! My hair just doesn't respect me.
Hehehe... with my curls, no one can tell when I have a bad hair day. :-)
Excellent! We've both got hair that marches to it's own beat and does what ever it wants most of the time. Some times we tackle it to tame it.
CREATIVE, you make great poems, and kids/grandkids too!
Hilarious or as anitamombanita said, hairlarious! What a fun pos, Sue! =D
Oh what a great little poem about lovely hair issues, all beating to the sound of a great parade...right! I have to admit even though your hair is standing up on end...you are looking so young in photo today! Very cool! ha ha !
That's cute Sue. I did a post on hair too.~Ames
Oh my. I love it. Fall out (oops). As you were.
You have a gift, my friend
A nice and funny poem, morning out of bed I remember it.
Ha! Hopefully not the fall out part!!!
So funny and that looks like my own head of hair after trying to type in dozens of contacts on a new cell phone...yikes!
Thanks for the smiles!
HA HA! wONDERFUL!
One of my favorites.
Just when I think I have a handle on it, it decides to do things a little differently so I'm constantly changing styling tools and product. Loved this poem!
That was the best!!!!
It sorta lilted off the tongue. Too cute and very descriptive. You've been spying on me haven't you?
This had me giggling. I love it. My Briggy baby has this kind of hair at the moment. Time for a haircut!
In my teen years it used to be a bad day when I had a hair platoon! But I refuse to have my day ruined by my hair anymore!!
FALL OUT!!! Noooooo!!
It was wet and windy here yesterday morning and I was on early playground duty. By the time the school day started, my hair looked like I had dragged it through a hedge backwards!
Fab H post, how witty and clever!
Glad you enjoyed the tour of Hellens Manor, btw I just became your newest follower.
My hair doesn't stand up it hangs down, lol !
Fantastic poem, Sue..I have many days like this..
So I snorted as I read this, then laughed a lot...very clever Sue ! LOVE this !!!
This was very imaginative. Fits me often.
I have been in the bed for the last two weeks, and have had serious bed-hair! Rod has tried to straighten it out a couple of times because I have looked so goofy! I was able to stand in the shower yesterday and wash it, which made us both happy!!
hahaha...no dont fall out!!! SMILES. This was a fun one sue...
Sue, what a cute take on the letter H. Unfortunately, I think you might have been writing about my hair:)
Oh Sue!
I'm reading this in a very quiet house this morning...my husband is still asleep or should I say WAS asleep.
I laughed so loud I'm sure he heard me!
What a wonderful, fabulous, amazing, perfect, perfect, perfect little ditty!
You are a heavenly writer for certain!
Hugs and A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
