ACHIEVING THE LOOK

           I get up, take a shower

           And wash my hair.

           Then I read the newspapers

           And watch the news on television,

           And slowly the hair dries . . .

           It takes about an hour.

           I don’t use a blow-dryer.

           Once it’s dry, I comb it.

           Once I have it the way I like it,

           Even though nobody else likes it,

           I spray it and . . .

           It’s good for the day.
