Highlights

 

I’m sick of having highlights but they are a necessity

Without them I’m so mousey, they’re not a luxury

My hair is limp au natural, it’s dull and doesn’t glow

The highlights give a little lift for about a month or so

 

I’ve been going to the salon for over forty years

Every eight weeks more or less - the cost brings me to tears

I’ve done a calculation, that’s 6 times annually

so 6 x 40 times a lot - you don’t need a degree

 

I can’t believe I’ve spent so much, it’s nearly 20 grand

I must be bonkers, out of touch, I come from cuckoo land

I saw my friend the other day, her hair looked really fab

Not a single hint of grey - mine felt really drab

 

I asked her what her secret was, which salon does she use?

She buys a box of L’Oreal - I nearly popped a fuse!

It costs less than a tenner and it’s easy to apply

So I’ve just got back from Tesco, I’m going to have a try

 

I’m not averse to DIY, I paint my fingernails

I wax my legs and bits at home with all that that entails

So I’m sure that I will manage - I can read after all

I’ll follow the instructions, I’ve got the where with all

 

And yet now I’m feeling anxious, it might turn my hair bright green

I should have done a test patch, it could go tangerine

I think I’ve had a change of heart, I’m a bag of nerves and tense

I’ll go back to the salon - bugger the expense!
