MISS PRETTY
Back then, it was easy to sit, hours on end
To have kinky hair corn-rowed with, or
Without the extensions added, to lend
The length of vanity, time thus courted;
Youth and its foibles reveled hours on end
While 'Miss Pretty' sat poised on the wall
She adored these glam hours we would spend
Hairdresser braided, she preened or napped
A yellow-eyed little fur-balled friend
So well named such a hoity toity cat,
Those were days of coiffure hours on end

NOW WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU LEAVE
LOVE this scene. Given half an inch, I'm sure that cat would have pounced!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun prompt today Susan. Happy you dropped in to read mine

I forgot to mention the video which I've seen a few times-- I always have to watch it all the way through, too, fun bright and cool!
DeleteI love this scene, the hair being corn-rowed, the kitty blissfully watching and dozing. Love "yellow-eyed little fur balled friend". So sweet.

Aw. How nice to have a cute little cat around while someone's doing your hair. And the little cat is so aptly named to live in hair salon - What else could Miss Pretty be, but pretty?
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this Gillena.

Idyllic times by the sound of it – and youthful. (Smile)
ReplyDeleteMiss Pretty sure has a place in every customer's heart. It takes the focus off from the bothersome braiding process!
