Born ten minutes apart

 a she, a he, a pair -

Both less than seven pounds

 born, long limbed, hair fair

She, named Delilah, was 

 this twosome's main light

Sam, her brother was darker,

 and more so at night

As babies didn't recognise, 

 their right from its wrong

One could scrawl music,

the other hum a song

But as they grew older their

 hair longer did grow down

to the shoulders, warming

 when weathered cold snow

Aware modern styles, the

 sister's head was shorn bald

but Sam's stayed full lucious

 whilst  Lila's ever cold

Time passed by an' Sam's

 hair still much admired

but his twin became envious

 her mood less desired 

One night in a fever, she

 took sheers to cut off his locks

but forgot to remember

 that had gone back the clocks

He was out with his buddies

 to sample pints of  beer

so zig-zagged his way home

 hillarious with good cheer

Upstairs he crept to find a sad

 sight, his teddy bears three had

been shorn of fur as sis had had

 a sleepwalking night!

The teddy bear with no fur,
Comes back for dailah.
Be aware, of the bear

at night walking...

Fun story... and the twisty right and wrong... recognized at last...

And all that from a prompt of hair? I've just been telling myself minimalism is back in fashion, as mine was only five lines long, but maybe length of piece coincides with actual length of hair. What do you think Rapunzel? 😃
I do hope in her horror of finding out she got her sewing needle out and made all the teddies better, after her shenananagi.....shenagagi....sleepwalkery! 😃
