“Где щипцы?” - “Завить концы!” -

У щупалец - раздор;

Один шипит: “Мне конский хвост”,

Другой: “Косой пробор”.

- Косички-афро!

- Ирокез!

“Бокс” - “Мокрую укладку!”

“Гарсон” - “В пучок” - “Нет, гладко!”

“Хной” - “Перекисью” - “Прядку!”

От склок устала их… клубок -

Распутать как? - загадка.

Coil and hiss - writhe and twist -

My hairdo won’t get done.

‘Cause one hair hissing, “Ponytail,”

And one yells, “Simple bun,”

One whispers, “Cornrows,”

One screams, “Bangs.”

One shouts, “Just wash and dry it.”

One snaps, “No, curl and tie it,”

One hollers, “Bleach and dye it.”

And how am I to fix my hair

If my hair will not keep quiet?
