mary's hair

her golden tresses brought her joy
but also some frustration
for mary's hair was sometimes there
and sometimes on vacation

if her head was a shiny bald
many would explain
that her hair was visiting
a moustache down in spain

mary didn't even need
her brush, curlers or comb
when her hair went sightseeing
in Venice or in Rome

she drew some strands upon her head
her hair had gone to france
she made some curly sideburns from
some hair found in her pants

her hair came home, baggage in hand
but mary had flown the coop
she'd left on her own hairless trip
with a bald theatrical troupe
