The Dandy(lion)

He was a lad most handsome,
Though you’d struggle to know.
A veritable Samson,
He let his hair grow and grow.

No hair dresser was permitted,
To touch his golden mop.
He was committed,
To never visit a barber’s shop.

His mum and dad tried their best
To get him a trim,
But he ignored their request,
He wouldn’t even put hair clips in.

So as he grew in aspect,
And up and up he shot,
The over all effect,
Was that of a dandelion clock.

Yes, on grew the shaggy mane,
Until one fateful day,
There was a hurricane,
And the wind carried him away.

Another silly one, my eldest has been cultivating a pretty shaggy mop. Looks pretty good on him truth be told.
