Skin Deep Aging

[Delta40]

The hairdresser, the hairdresser
its the place I want to be
where the mirror and the lights
highlight my fading beauty
except for the hairdresser
fresh from a models page
she brushes lint off her shoulders
smiles, so I feel my age
But then I feel much better
when she starts to twitter
beauty isn't everything
I smile back and feel less bitter
Ah wisedom, wisedom
Is the place I want to be

Im feeling animosity to your hairdresser here. Wisdom is the place you are for you are here on litnet pouring your thoughts out for random strangers around the world. As am I. I enjoyed your tale. although as a male with little hair it took imagination. and as a p.s hairdressers make awful lovers ;)

So do poets I hear.....

[Jerrybaldy]

they probably do. Im not there yet :P

[Delta40]

well, please write a poem about it when you do - I love a good laugh!

I'm suspecting you spelled "wisedom" on purpose and have already started pondering possible deep interpretations, -dom indicating a judgment, a decree... hmmm

[Jerrybaldy]

Im feeling a combined colonial backlash here :P lol

[Delta40]

No fear. I'm a ten pound pom

[Jerrybaldy]

that ages you Delta ;D

[Delta40]

It also means with good living and the Aussie way of life, I'm now a 200lb pom

You know, if I was a chick visiting a hairdresser and some condescending smartipants smiled sweetly at me and said, "Never mind dear you may be old and ugly but at least you have wisdom," I would be inclined to educate them to the fact that "wisdom" is not calling someone old and ugly to their face. It is a lesson which would be delivered by clocking them one :D

best, H

and acid face mask would help too but I'm far too high brow for that :-)

ah, there's hope for the wrinkly. Damn I hate twitter. Thanks Delta.
