The gray clouds have poured rain from its storming.
I had washed my long black hair this morning.
It is slightly kinky and very thick.
No hair product could make flyaway stick.
People admired my highlights with pride.
I had my dry hair permed, bleached blond and dyed
and shortened, layered or feathered as well.
Longer hair behaves better and looks swell.
A lady had beautiful locks that curled.
She raved of its beauty from her small world.
She’d wash her hair from an old river place.
She kept it well coifed upon her proud face.
One day she awoke. And what did she find?
Tightly knotted hair, magically entwined!
The bayan had to cut off her fine locks.
She went hysterical, lived in a box.
She stepped on an invisible creature,
or Nuno, who did not like her feature.
Their anthill should not be disturbed with harm.
Say “tabi tabi po” to pass their charm.
