I enjoyed how your older, fuzzier memory has dredged up this memory of childhood initiative. I bet those lovely brown curls made a wonderful nest. Silly Mommy, to be upset about the haircut. Your poem is an entertaining sequence of well-rhymed couplets..

thanks, Lisa. It did kind of leave her looking like a plucked chicken, though.
Thanks for reading and for your comments.

Oh my. The ideas you come up with when you are a kid. I think every kid on the planet has cut their own or someone elses hair at some point. It's fun. I still cut my own hair. =] This is very cute.

thanks Roxana. I still cut mine, too, though the back is always a challenge.

Ha, ha, ha very funny and quite a truthful action for a child;"Just the right thing, when suddenly I
Had an idea that I thought I'd run by
My sister, because the brown curls on her head
"Would make a really great bird's nest," I said.

So, I cut it off, and it really did make
A perfect bird nest, but I didn't take
Into account that Mom'd gone to find.
Easter bonnets! I padded my behind!" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.
