ODE TO SHELLY's HAIR


By Chad Morris

Blonde, pretty, silky hair
Fallen to the ground
Shaved away from its home
Lying all around
Most women would never do it
It’s too great a sacrifice
Plus, being bald in winter
Is cold

Some women shave their heads
For attention or applause,
But Shelly shaved it away
For a greater cause
Of course she went shopping
For some scarves and new hats
I’m really proud of her
Really. I’m not kidding. The girl has some grit—some real courage. She’s changing the world a little bit at time. Plus I’m sure she’ll look REALLY good bald. She’ll have kind of a sassy, I-don’t-need-my-hair-to-look-gorgeous kind of thing going on. And of course it’ll save time and shampoo.

I do think a part of this is funny,
Yes, funny is what I said.
Some couples might wear matching shirts
Now we have matching heads.

  4. Chad - nice to meet you :) I think Shelly is just phenomenal (spelling?)
    What is the link to donate again? If Shelly is REALLY going to go Sinead O'Conner, I better pony up.
