Ode To My HairClip

Clip for my hair, which I always do carry.

Your hold on me is legendary.

Always you’re there

To gather my hair

And keep it from getting too scary.

Other times, too, your use I must seek,

As forehead locks cause me to peek.

I pull my bangs back,

Which you grab with a snap,

And help me more clearly to see.

You serve me in ways that number a lot

Most vital of which I have not forgot

For your service is bestest

When you lift up my tresses

As my hormones are making me hot.
