Ode To Gingers

Hair that glistens shiny and bright

like sparkling diamonds in the morning light.

Glorious to the touch, a sight to behold

glamorous, stylish, beautiful and bold.

Oh to be a ginger so carefree and fun

               

  like a brand new penny            

as  bright as any sun.

Strawberry blond, auburn, copper

nothing in this world will ever top her.

A ginger girl is full of vamp and vigor.

She’s every man’s dream, a fantasy figure.

Mixed with sugar and spice

you must add it twice
 

to get the perfect recipe 

for everything

nice.

Author's Note

I wrote this awhile ago for my sister who has beautiful strawberry blonde hair. The image is of Maureen O'Hara one of my favorite actresses of all time.

Yes, to me it seems to represent a 'devil may care' attitude, fun, frisky :-) Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment.
