Jack's Sticky Situation: A Hair-Raising Tale

A funny poem with a twist and suspense about a hair gel mishap

By Story TellerPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

There was a man named Jack

Who wanted his hair slicked back

So he bought some hair gel

And thought it would work swell

He squeezed some in his hand

And rubbed it all over his strand

But little did he know

That he used glue instead of the gel, oh no!

He went out into the street

With his hair looking oh so neat

But as he walked down the lane

People stared at him, with a look of disdain

His hair stuck to his head

Like glue to a piece of bread

He tried to pull it out

But it wouldn't budge, no doubt

He ran to the store in a dash

And bought some solvent with cash

He rubbed it all over his hair

And finally, it began to flare

He looked in the mirror and sighed

His hair was now on the other side

He had used the wrong product, it seemed

And his hair would never be the same again, it beamed.
