Jagged blades rip through my hair

Yanking and pinching my scalp until it bleeds

Every year my hair gets shorter

You didn't like it long

Every month my hair grows longer

You didn't like it short

I button my shirts up to my neck

I unbutton my shirts too low

My pants are too long

My shorts are too short

Bottoms of old T-shirts reach my knees

Newer T-shirt rise above my waistline

I alternate between fresh heeled shoes

And flip flops I've had for years

You're not an easy customer to satisfy

It's never enough to entice you to buy something
