ODE de SALON

By Franelle

Three hairdressers sat around talking

about things as they ought to be …

said one to the other, oh sister, oh brother

do you think they’re as crazy as we?

I should say so by far, ’cause we’re dishing

’bout all that we hear and see

Oh the hair and the nails, the hairballs and wails

the curls and the twirls, the pampering … oh gee!

We thought it was fun, now we’re under the gun

to listen and calm … seek peace and evolve.

We’re wise to fake smiles and disguises

that everyone hides behind …

Why life is so simple, we’d give you a nickel

if everyone would just be kind.

Oh god, oh my bladder! I’m mad as a hatter!

I don’t even have time to go pee!

Please don’t rush, push or shove … Take advice from above …

Just return to pure love and be free.
