A Hairnet's Goodbye
down the toilet the hairnet went
it's time here was well spent
on top of a woman with short hair
she was tall and her skin was fair
she was a cook of many treats
working all day and wearing out her feet
she always came in early to dress
in an attire that would never fail to impress
with her gloves and her gown
and a hairnet worn like a crown
she would cook and she would bake
all day long she would make
beautiful cakes and pies
and decorate them with little bow-ties
some were big and some were small
she really could do it all
but by the end of each day
she felt tired but okay
she would delicately take off her gloves
and throw them away with love
next came her gown covered in splatter
from all the icing and the batter
and finally came her hair net
the one that really made her upset
for she would never see this one again
because it was to be sent down the drain
but there was a posted sign
that always said the same thing every time
No Flushing Hair Nets, Or Die!
she never took this serious and thought it was a lie
and continued to flush them down
until the toilet could take no more and shutdown
then the water began to rise
and revealed her surprise
she didn't have time to explain
before she disappeared, and was never seen from again
but she was last seen wearing a net in her hair
running for the back stairs
