Ode to Luke's "Coils"

From the very beginning

His hair curled when wet

              

From his Papa

His "coils" he did get

Daddy loved them

And fixed them with gel

When Momma tried to fix them

One could not tell

She'd always liked short dos

On boys of all ages

And kept his hair short

Through most of his stages

Then Daddy said, "Please?"

And Momma agreed

His hair grew long

Til clippers he did need

When Daddy left town

To hunt in Crystal City

Momma grabbed the clippers

And immediately got busy

(Momma had gotten permission

On the haircutting decision)

 Daddy got a text

Those precious "coils" now gone

He handled it well

Only seven crying emoticons

 Then this text came through

Of Luke sporting his new do

Daddy really liked it

And Momma did, too.  :)
