In defence of short hair

I have short hair

and I don't care

if it suits my age

or it's not all the rage

I can spike it with gel

bleach it to hell

colour it pink

without having to think

about growing it out

for years, and I have no doubt

that if I wake in despair

with a head of bed hair

I can dunk it in water

and 5 minutes later

I'm ready to face

the day
