Random thoughts: Limerick: “Retort”

There once was a hairdresser in port
who, while wearing a pink hard hat, would cavort.
And to this very day,
though the construction’s gone away,
is still known to have a snarky retort.

A hairdresser and her hard hat

A hairdresser and her hard hat. Retort extra.

You can find out more about this pink hard hat and the woman wearing it at: http://ephemeralfilaments.wordpress.com/.
