The Unhappy Hairbrush by James Aitchison

Leave a comment
By australianchildrenspoetry March 4, 2025

I’d hate to be a hairbrush,

by the mirror, waiting there;

my bristles would get clogged up

with strands of yucky hair.

Everybody uses me,

no one seems to care;

red hair, black hair, grey hair too —

a technicolor scare!
