To my curly haired comrades

"The Battle of the Frizz"

"Awww nuts"
I see you've won the battle of the night
I was asleep, powerless
even helping you
with my wild tossing and turning
The real combat begins

Water
Yellow Dep
Sprunch Spray
Frizzeaze?
My arsenal of heavy artillery
I coax
beg
plead
"Cling together little curls, hold on"
"Conformity," my battle cry

But I know you...
Longing to wiggle away
Barely containing the exploding energy to be free!
"Individuality," your battle cry

Dancing to your own music
Gyrating
Branching out and out and out
Your power mocks me
and my chemicals

Hairbrush and I are strangers
He lives in your camp
Pick and I are inseparable

Society of Warriors
Secret potions
Magic tonics
we kid ourselves

Sympathy and comfort-
Far more valuable

Wow, you and I have the same first name and apparently the exact same hair!!!

Just today someone told me to try Frizzeaze... they think they understand. You missed the mention of the hairdresser that wants to "style" your hair after the cut.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Thanks!
