Question:The Appointment
By Semper Fi Reborn

If my appointment
Was at eight o'clock
Why is it ten
When you wash my hair?
Is this part
of some sick plot?
Don't you know
I have to be somewhere?

I can't sit here
In this chair
While you chatter
On and on
What kind of business
Do you run?
You really call this
A salon?

Under this drier
For three hours
While you stuff your
Silly face
While I suffer under heat
So your tip
Won't be that great!

How dare you
Keep me imprisoned
While you perm and curl your friend
You think you're
Getting paid?
Hmph!
Better think again!

I love it, Semper...I can so identify. I just had this happen to me a couple of weeks ago.

You made me laugh. 5 stars.

i can relate to this it is totally cool this happened to me a couple of times 5 stars totally

Yay Semper Fi that has happened to me to many times to shake a stick at ' and while i;m in a 200 degrees dryer she chatter and gabbing and forgets about me ' till my hair is all frizz.Thank-you Semper That was truthful and to the bone honesty of these could care less beauty shops.I now said forget it and am growing my hair long again ..

Just had to stop in and read it...lol.

Wow! I'm pissed just reading this. I walked away from someone who treated me like this so I must've gotten into the poem huh. :O))))

Really well written Semper Fi....this is me clapping for your ability to write this and I hope you stood up and refused to pay for lousy services!!!!!!!!!

Ha haha! Yup, I can relate.

omagosh...this is so cute and so true. I have experienced exactly what your poem is about. As a result, I've learned to highlight my own hair and I only get a cut once a year. For what it costs to have your hair done, it's definitely not worth the hassle. You must be in tune with women or at least the women in you life ;) Well done.

Haha! So funny and as always brilliantly written and presented! I've never had this problem, but I know every time I go I will think of this terrific poetic satire.

Hugs and blessings, Pami

HA HA HA
That's why I never go to a salon.....obvisously you can tell that from my picture. :P

What awesome fun this poem is!
Would it be wrong to dedicate it to my mother-in law?? Hahaha!
She's a feisty, 80 year old German with a standing appt. every Saturday at 1.......

I applaud your effort to be senstive to women, but it is obvious that you are not accustomed to taking...............sick children to their doctor's appointments. I have actually left the doctor's office and gone to the emergency room! That is a whole unopened chapter in America's healthcare!

While you do have a gift for poetry, the "hair parlor" is the least of my concerns. This happens at the doctor, the dentist, the tax accountant, the attorneys................virtually everywhere I go.

Americans need to stand up and say "My time too, is important".

I had my hair done here it is called Alicia's hair salon in Hawthorne, Ca!

LOL I bet many ladies can relate to this one. Luckily it never happens to me, because I have naturally curly hair so all I have to do is wash and dry it and voila - I'm all dolled up :P

A star for you! :)

i like the poem and just glad im not one of them girls..i like my wash and go hair and dont give a rats butt about make-up cuz i really dont care if someone likes me or not..that is why i am lady of liberty
