Frizzy Hair

There was a time when I was dizzy

I checked my hair and it was frizzy

I asked, “How do I know

Whether I should forego

Doing my hair while I am so busy?”

I didn’t want the melodramas

So my hair got a lick and a promise

I looked at the clock

And realized in shock

It was time to put on my pajamas.
