Miss Molly Mop is a lovely young child,
pretty and honest and fair.
But one little thing makes Molly look wild:
the curious twist of her hair.

Instead of a head full of bouncy brown curls
that spiral in bunches or tangles,
her hair grows in spikes, arrow straight with no swirls,
then suddenly bends in sharp angles.

She can’t wear a hat, and it’s harder to slumber
on hair that’s both pointy and straight.
7 can be the most bothersome number!
Hair should be a 1 or an 8.
