A New Hairdo

Was it a dream or just a fleeting thought,

to change my hairstyle or maybe naught?

In the wake of day, it all came to fruition,

that a new look would be a welcomed addition.

Off to the beauty salon for a consultation,

with Fred, my stylist, with an impeccable reputation.

We agreed it was time for a new look to appear,

 and with his scissors, much of my hair did quickly disappear.

Then his expertise of styling came into view,

he had created an outstanding new hairdo.

Like a queen I showed off my crown of glory,

with my head held high looking extraordinary.

Unfortunately, it was an exciting time for just a week or two,

for my hair grew quickly and had to bid my new look adieu.
