I saw a shimmery glare creeping from my drawer
It was all ready my birthday, so what more
I opened the drawer with a surprised look on my face
I saw a pink flatiron in a black case
When I took it out and turned it on I saw steam in the air
I couldn't wait to use it on my hair


When I looked in the mirror my hair was no longer curly
My hair is now straight for all eternity
My hair was as soft as a cloud
I knew my screeching was pretty loud
I Kept it down a notch, trying not to yell
But I thought that my luck had came from a wishing well

I unplugged the flatiron with sorrow
But I know that I will use it again tomorrow
I couldn't believe what has just been done
It was like sunshine shooting its ray from the sun
I can't believe I was so terrified
But now look at me, I am so satisfied

I will have to thank my mom for her love and pleasure
That now I have a remarkable treasure
I have jumped, I have begged for many of years
But then when I got one, then came the tears
I happen use it everyone morning
My brothers think that it is quite annoying
Before I had one, my hair would stop traffic
But that that I got one, it is pure magic

I have to say it caught me by surprise
I couldn't believe she got me one this size
When picture day is here
I will finally be able to cheer
I will give myself a round of applause
And I will let the wind blow my hair up into the stars
I go from living in denial
To living in style

My inspiration to write this poem was all for straight hair. My hair is very curly and for those with curly and frizzy hair, it gets annoying. When I run through my hair with that flatiron its like I'm in a whole new world with non frizziness. Thats why I decided to write this poem.
