A Brush With Death
A Hair Raising Poem

My girlfriend’s finally gone insane
She’s well outside her mind
Despite this drama, I remain
Though lately it’s a grind
She’s so unhappy, so upset
“Bat crazy” to be fair
That bug-eyed stare I won’t forget
And all because of HAIR
She battles like it’s all out war
I try to lend support
She’ll trim it, peek, and cut some more
Then say, “It’s still too short”
Tonight I’ll join this raving lass
For drinks out on the town
She preps before a mirrored glass
(That mirror’s coming down)
I heard some words I’ll never quote
As long as I have lungs
A curdling bleet, was that a goat
Did she just speak in tongues
Did Satan somehow enter in
To tease her frizzy mess
Demonic sounds emit a din
The walls could not suppress
I’m going in, I’ve heard enough
What hell awaits beyond
I find her well, but looking rough
(Are Asian’s mostly blonde)
She shouts at me excitedly
Completely out of breath
“You’ll never guess who called on me
I had a brush with Death”
