Hair Tonic

oh new hair tonic
how do i start to describe thee
how thy milky sap doth cure my hot head
that lack of water most certainly causes
my wilting locks of dark mahogany
feel refreshed by your opalescent
fragrant waters of life and joy
 when your cooling elixir of youth
touches my parched scalp
i rejoice and sing praise to thee
the sweet mingling of peppermint
and rosemary- a queens remedy
with geranium to balance
my delicate sensibilities
lavender to soothe my worries
and neroli to tighten my skin,
oh new hair tonic i think of you so
and ponder on the quantity
of polysorbate 80
and if it will actually
remove sebum and dht
oh new hair tonic i am writing you down
for my case study
my remedy i do love thee
what kind of preservative do i put in you
are you a rinse off product my love
bows and arrows and knives and guns
cannot compare to the splendor found in thy pearly glow.
