I. If Scott 01 Dickens were only here. Or even our friend, Mr. William Shakespeare— To tell you in lines that rhyme at the end Of rats and puffs and curls that wont bend! II. But this is my tale, so lend me thine ears. And hear what has happened in only two years. In that little time our heads have outgrown The size of our bodies—a fact thats well known. III. We wore rats big as bolsters, all striving to lookLike monsters whose pictures we see in a book.They bulged at the sides with the width of a yard.Some slicked them with soap, and others used lard. IV. But the sides were not in it with what came behind-The weight nearly caused me the loss of my mind;Rats stuffed in puffs, psyches large, and some smalCurls in great numbers around them did fall. V. Things reached a climax—I feared civil strife.Men wouldnt have us—no thought of a wifeWhen hair was par value and almost each girlWould go without lunch just to buy a new curl.
