Show KOML01i )f XI .by WILBUR D. NrLPBIT The Hair (With the obviously necessary apology.) See the ladies with the hair That they wear-How wear-How they pat the willful locks with an unconscious air! How it ripples whirly-swirly From beneath the bonnet-brim. Dignified or glrly-g-irly, Straight, and mooth", or crinkly-curly In accord with fashion's whim. See it glint, glint, glint In the proper Titian tint Or the other shades and colors that the rule is they must wear In their hair, hair, hair, hair, ..Hair, hair, hair O, the volume and the quantity of hair! See the windows full of hair-Golden hair-Golden hair! Half a carload on display and not a lock to spare, And the brunette and the blond. Tawny locks by chemists tawned. And the daffy-taffy puffs Which appeal As do auburns and do buffs With the solemn satisfaction that their bluffs Can't reveal. O, the women and the girls Wearing curious chunks and bunches, hunks and strands and curls! How they smile 'Neath the pile Of the switches fine and fair What and Whose and Whence and Where? O, the tender, slender, splendor Of the hair, hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, hair O, the gleaming and the seeming of the hair! Ah, and when their heads are bare Of the hair! When it covers all the table and is scattered scat-tered everywhere Telling tales of tonics tested till they gave up in despair! How it clutters, clutters, clutters Every inch there is of space How it flutters, flutters, flutters From the hooks and every place Here a switch and there a switch Till they don't know which is which. And the bed, the doir, the bureau, and the window sill and chair Bear the hair. hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, hair " Bear the airy, fairy plentltude of hair! |
