Frederique’s Haircut

In the midst of a haircut you are quiet and sure,

Patiently waiting in a turquoise cutting cape

With a mosaic of smiling faces up and down the sides

Inviting and stylish and full of good cheer

All of them had haircuts like you are having now

Many got it cut short and others had it cut long

A few buzzed it off while some fluffed it out.

All of them asking, “How are you going to wear yours?”

Are your pretty brown locks going to have a barrette?

Perhaps they will be topped with a red a bow

Or maybe with flowers neatly tucked in a row

They might shake and roll to the blare of music

Or hang peacefully with the reading of a book

How you choose to flaunt it will be your decision

The way you tease your hair can be a daily revision.
