/// This Young Lady‘s unable to smile,
burdened by an unwieldy hair style.
Kurt, (who gave her those pearls),
had some words for her curls:
Too alike, too huge, and (says Kurt) vile.
/// Since her raven hair’s always been long,
when combed straight it hangs down past her thong.
Can’t be washed in a rush,
takes forever to brush,
but these curls are a fix that went wrong.
/// Now she wants to try something brand new,
(and Kurt’s insults have troubled her, too).
Her long hair is her pride;
at her last trim she cried.
She has hair-don’ts but no good hair-do.
