Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer was leading a lonely life working nights at the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory where he was in charge of loading crates full of fukfoorfiffenfimmers, onto cargo cars destined for the city of Cincinnati. There was such a huge demand for fukfoorfiffenfimmers in the city of Cincinnati, poor Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer worked his hunnyhush to the bone. On one of his few holiday weekends, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer went to a hair salon for a trim. Here he was attended by a hairdresser named, Henrietta Huckhellopolis. Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer instantly fell for the husky-voiced hairdresser. Gaining enough gumption and gallasisgoppingguff needed to bypass beating around the bush of courteous courtship, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer asked Henrietta Huckhellopolis if she wanted to leerlumpaloomp later that evening. "I would love to leerlumpaloomp later this evening," she replied, batting her long lashes lustily. And how those two leerlumpaloomped! They leerlumpaloomped long through the night. They leerlumpaloomped so loudly, the neighbours ended up sticking stuffystoils into their sensilivities, in hopes of drowning out the noise. Nine months later, the lovers were blessed with a litter of lullaloonillies—wot with the loud leerlumpaloomping and all. But, of the seven lullaloonillies, four of them had two lumpalots instead of one. Bolstering himself against drowning in despair at the prospect of having sired freak lullaloonillies, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer helped design fukfoorfiffenfimmers especially meant for lullaloonillies who have two lumpalots instead of one. As the double-lumpalot fukfoorfiffenfimmers were Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer's idea, the owner of the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory gave Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer a forty percent cut of the royalties. *Fortunately some fairy tales come with a happy ending, because the city of Cincinnati was hit with a record number of lullaloonillies born with two lumpalots instead of just the one. The high sales of double-lumpalot fukfoorfiffenfimmers, enabled Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer and Henrietta Huckhellopolis to quit their jobs and buy into the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory. Yes, after getting married, Harry Heironymous and Henrietta Huckhellopolis-Huffenhoffer lived happily hever hafter. So did the lullaloonillies.... including those with two lumpalots instead of one.*

Paborito kong laruan ay baril-barilan At hindi mga manika o lutu-lutuan. Hilig ko rin ang manuod ng action movies Kaysa mga disney princess' movies Pero babae ako. Ayaw na ayaw ko sa bestida, palda, Mga make-up at kung anu-anong pampaganda. Mas gugustuhin ko ang tumakbo o mamundok Kaysa magpunta sa mall at sa salon. Pero babae ako. Hindi pa ko nagka-boyfriend o nagkagusto sa lalaki Ngunit sa babae ay maraming beses nang kinilg. Mas gugustuhin ko na mahulog sa babae Kaysa sa lalaki sumuko. Pero babae ako.

Pero Babae Ako
Having ripped my way through Concrete older than my father With jackhammer and Shovel I rest. As thirsty as sweaty and ***** As dirt. Across the street The ladies at the hair salon Whistle and wave giggling girishly. Clouds of menthol. **** sexists. I put my shirt back on. It's not even lunch and I'm Less than a Diet Coke ad Without the coke.

Is A Birthday A Birthday Without Celebration A child of God on his creation Is A Birthday A Birthday Without A cake The sweet smell plus the time it took to make Is A Birthday A Birthday Without Blowing out candles hot dripping wax 65 candles fire to the max Is A Birthday A Birthday Without Singing the song A sadness lingered all day long Is A Birthday A Birthday Without A friend to share it with Or are all these reasons just a myth Pouring Rain fierce winds rocked my car I walked the mall Beauty Salon new look cut style my hair No one to notice or to care Shopping Victoria Secrets, things I did not need But made me smile The happness only lasted a short while See’s candy, picked out my favorite kind Still sad loneliness on my mind Bed bath and beyond; rosewater candles Surely the scent would cheer my mood Perhaps Chinese’s food Wonton soup and *** stickers To take home Painful knee ended my time to roam Reading comments ,well wishers who Remember my Birthday I’m done celebrating now Ready for the end of this Day Text messages Facebook too I wish I understood I wish I knew Why I feel this way Tomorrow Will be A bright New Day Inspired Song 1) It’s my party by Lesley Gore (And I’ll cry if I want to) 2) Happy birthday the new kids by on the block 3) Happy birthday by John Lennon 4) happy birthday by “Weird Al” Yankovic 5) happy birthday by Loretta Lynn 6) birthday by Katy Perry 7) happy birthday by Stevie Wonder 8) birthday by The Beatles

What Constitutes A Birthday
They hate the shadow of the bird over the high water of the white cheek and the conflict of light and wind in the salon of the cold snow. They hate the bodiless arrow, the precise handkerchief's farewell, the needle that keeps the pressure and the rose in the cereal blush of the smile. They love the blue desert, the swaying bovine expressions, the lying moon of the poles, the water's curved dance at the shore. With the science of tree trunk and street market they fill the clay with luminous nerves and lewdly skate on waters and sands tasting the bitter freshness of their millennial spit. It's through the crackling blue, blue without worm or a sleeping footprint, where the ostrich eggs remain eternal and the dancing rains wander untouched. It's through the blue without history, blue of a night without fear of day, blue where the **** of the wind goes splitting the sleepwalking camels of the empty clouds. It's there where the torsos dream under the gluttony of grass. There the corals soak the ink's despair, the sleepers erase their profiles under the skein of snails and the space of the dance remains over the final ashes.

Husbands, raise your hands Keep them up if you love your wife Keep them up if you colour your wifes hair Okay, this is for the three of us that are left.... I did my wife a favour As I do, because I can I help her when I'm able Not just because I am a man I **** bugs when requested I do the laundry like I should I clean the bathroom when it's ***** And by doing so , feel good Every few weeks I will help her Hide the grey that she can see I don't volunteer to do it But it's cheap to hire me A salon visit is expensive Doing hair, and waiting hours I just slip on my latex hand wear And I have a bag full of super powers Yes, I help my wife get couloured I take the time and do her hair I also, get it on the tiles Up the wall and on two chairs The dog gets covered just a little The rug, a window and the bed But, we always buy two packets So, there's enough to do her head I have a jacket slightly mottled It's got a few brown spots, some red I don't know exactly how it happened I even got some on our bed Just call me Mr. Kenneth In my jumpsuit doing hair I get it where I think she needs it And I spray it everywhere She comes out looking gorgeous She's always happy with the result She always looks a little different Like someone who believes in the occult If you're a husband who likes money Save it, colour your wife's hair Your part only takes ten minutes You need ten towels, one mask, one chair It brings us both closer together My arms look like a leopard skin All my shirts are slightly spotted But all those spots, make me look thin I've got to go now and get cleaned up The carpets ruined, so's the wood But, she's happy and we all know that If the wife is happy....all is good!

we ate government cheese that came in a dull brown box we were too young to understand what welfare and food stamps meant, our empty bellies never protested at the salty orange blocks in front of the bodega, we saw a woman introduce a hammer to a drunk tyrant’s skull his blood pooling on the streets was too red for new eyes we watched hypodermic needles bloom on stoops cling to life on curbs the graffiti on abandoned buildings was our Louvre, our Salon de Paris sweltering streets our baseball diamonds prostitutes, black or brown or both mothered us between shifts we grew up in projects, that sheltered drab lives and senseless brutalities gunfire, sharp and immutable punctured lullabies we were small boys watching life unfold the way one stares at an accident detached and mildly curious eyeing cooly the despair and impossible hopelessness of growing up poor in Brooklyn

Growing Up Poor in Brooklyn
For the first time on campus, Sisters on the Runway will strut and pose for domestic violence awareness. Sisters on the Runway will be hosting its first annual fashion show from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight in the Business Building. All proceeds will be donated to the Centre County Women's Resource Center, Layla Taremi president of the organization, said. Sisters on the Runway is a national student-run organization that raises awareness about women and children who reside in domestic violence shelters. There are over five chapters throughout the nation, each supporting the same cause to local shelters. It was founded in 2009 and has grown since then, Taremi (sophomore-marketing) said. Aside from the fashion show, which is the biggest fundraising event that the organization hosts, Sisters on the Runway is also responsible for other events. The organization hosts a chalking event where they write facts about domestic violence on sidewalks using chalk. This is a way for them to raise domestic violence awareness, Taremi said. It also hosts a walk where all participants walk a mile in heels for awareness. The show will consist of eleven female models and three male models, Edie Alexander, the event planner, said. Alexander said the show is expected to showcase clothing from Connections, Dwellings, Diamonds and Lace Bridal and Harper's, who are also their sponsors. Looks Hair Salon will be responsible for hair and makeup for the models in show, Taremi said. "There is no theme for the show,” Taremi said. “It will be a wide spectrum of clothing." The male models are expected to walk the runway showcasing suits and tuxedos, Taremi said. Originally the show was not going to include male models. It wasn't until the owners of Harper's decided to contribute to the show by donating some men's apparel for the fashion show. All the models participating have been building up their confidence for the runway, Alexander (sophomore-recreation park and tourism management) said. "I'm excited for our first annual fashion show, I hope this brings more awareness to the Penn State community," Vice President Lauren Shearer (sophomore-supply chain management) said. The organization’s goal is to get a lot of people involved through different events to help raise awareness of domestic violence, Shearer said. "We’re trying to push people to come, not just Penn State students, because it's not an issue that doesn't only affects college students,” Alexander said. “It affects everyone as well."Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide

She had a perfume that smelled like jasmine when she woke me up in the morning and like roses when she tucked me in at night It was the same perfume sprayed from the same bottle, but it smelled different every time I visited her Her perfume translated her feelings into delicate smells … smells I will never be able to forget The same perfume is still sprayed from the same bottle … but now … it smells like fear She no longer wears that perfume … “it makes me sad” she says … It makes us all sad! … Its drizzling droplets brushes against our senses awakening sedated memories … Memories of … Of grandpa’s happy eyes, warm embracing voice and tender sheltering hug … he was the kind of person whose presence can be felt from a distance. He would smile every time your eyes meet his as if he was noticing you for the very first time … Of mother’s childhood dreams tucked carefully in her braided hair … Of baby brother’s golden straight hair and wide curious brown eyes Of our tiny apartment whose windows allowed light to enter only from her room … the burgundy colored velvet salon chairs neatly covered by off white sheets … the noisy fridge who made sure everyone noticed me steeling ice-cream at midnight … Grandma’s perfume harbors our memories … Its droplets carry away our happiness leaving us stinking of fear!

Grandma’s perfume
I suppose that I should be writing about the pencil itself, how its pale cerulean self lights up my taupe desk (yes, taupe.), or perhaps how the navy stamps that embellish it bleed a little at the sides smeared, or even the sheer fact that it says "hoppy Easter"with little bunnies on it, which is ironic because it is January. (and even funnier because the little bunnies look like demons waiting to pounce on your soul, slightly feline...feline bunnies?) But no. I sing instead the song of that metal thing at the end of the pencil, crimped like a tin can stuck in a sixties hair salon--the small item that sort of resembles Darth Vader; the metal thing that, when you think about it, you never notice; the thing that holds the eraser in place and the lead in the wood, and the wood in a line, the line for your pencil holder at the top of your desk (your taupe desk) that you write on and without writing you'd die... Without life you don't exist. I sing to the tiny piece of metal that is out of place, yet holds the world as we know it together. Because in a way, I know how it feels to bridge together two elements; two worlds, if you will. It's a difficult task indeed to hold it all together. And I realize, staring at the satanic rabbits adorning my writing utensil that this thing doesn't have a name.

Song of the Pencil
1. People say you can tell a lot about a woman's style by what her nails look like. For my mother, acrylics with baby pink sparkly french-tips. For the blonde sitting at the nail dryer, coral. Something about the color looks strange with her new engagement ring. She talks about how the second time she hung out with her fiancé she asked him to paint her nails. Her mother, who she insists she'll pay for, gets french tips. They look new and fresh in contrast to her tarnished wedding ring. The little girl with skinned knees and bug bites sitting in the chair across from me asks for blue polish on her toe nails. Her mother tells her she should get pink. 2. The act of women getting their nails done reminds me of warriors being armed for a fight. long acrylics, pointed, rounded, squared, all fit for different types of battle. Pointed for the woman who has to walk home alone at night, rounded for the woman in the workplace who must work harder than her male co-workers, and square for the woman at home raising her kids to know that strength and kindness are the same thing. 3. The women who work here speak better English than most high school students. And their accents tell stories that I will never know. An older woman speaks loudly and slowly, she treats them as if they do not understand. She will not speak to anyone but the owner; she wants him to translate what she wants to the salon workers. What she doesn't realize is that she is the only person here who doesn't understand. 4. The little girl's doll is named Tessa. She tells me that she likes my hair and shoes, even though she has been told not to talk to strangers twice in the last hour she has been here. She asked her mother for change, we all assume it's for the gumball machine in the corner. She puts all of it in the charity jar. I hope this girl never changes. 5. Having bare nails in a nail salon feels the same as being naked in public. 6. I feel terrible for laughing at the women trying to walk in those little salon flip-flops. Some look like ducks, others look like trained Barbies; marching newly polished, ready for the world to chip away their coating over, and over, and over again.

Sat at the hairdressers Hearing the gossip Relaxes a woman and her senses. Nothing outside the door of the salon matters. Just the head massage, and gossip. The world has stopped as her locks are chopped. If only a closed door could keep the world at bay. But, the door will open, the world will flood in and with it, for next time, more gossip!

Gossip
When I was three And my mother brushed my hair She parted it carefully And braided it equally. Two fat plaits Hung as even as my stare. When I was nine And the hairbrush was my foe Wild curls entwined Personality defined. Hair tangling Faster than it could grow. When I was fifteen And hair hit the salon floor I just wanted to be seen So dyed it pink, blue and green. Hair chopped short Little girl no more. Now I'm twenty-three No longer in the nest My parting is messy And my braids escapee. A hairy reminder That mother knows best.

A Hairy Reminder.
As the wet wind hums its way through our two tower six-cylinder apartment complex. Birds fall from their naked winter wept branches, braced by stiff bones, mapped out in Alexandria, carrying notes from El Salvador. The corner market is closed, never opened. A hair salon stands in its place, it wrings out the "R's" from a Philadelphia warshing. And like every night, hot air cakes on an extra layer of indecipherable red dots up the arms and around the neck, minute pustules of hypochondria that steal my finger tips from the keyboard. I scratch and tip them, looking under their fiery scarlet caps for, I-don't-know-what disease. Paul says It's that magic school bus melanoma, typhoid drip, it comes at you from a computer screen and eats at your nervous system until you've got the wambles. Tuesday's used to be the worst, until I OWNED THAT **** I make a pronoun out of aluminum foil and wear it as a hat on a first date. Tinder is not bad for conceptual art projects. I carry it within me like an anodyne complex, out into the frozenness; into my mouth the air comes around my teeth, behind my uvula until winter freezes my voice and I am breathless. I abandon my miniature house to enter the pyramidal pinetum to the North. Wild paradise shrubs gather with songless animal noises watching as I take naked photographs of my father to preserve his body from anything less than his great immortal end. He lives on black moss and water from a nearby pond, he authors the face of Anthony Hopkins, thrown about, another casualty of fervid and blurry dreaming.

The sign sun stains in the duct taped window advertising gainful employment in a part time pay by the hour washer deryer upstairs hair stylist crumbling 1960s salon. Chipped white washed paint draws in the custom customers offering permanates in every style and yesterday's hair of tomorrow "put it on today don't worry about it till tomorrow!

I saw you at the subway the other day You were drinking hot chocolate I thought about asking you for a sip but on second thought I didn't want to burn my tongue I chased you up the stairs and outside I got into a taxi cab I didn't want to see you, you were looking good I wanted to cool off and take some time out of the busy day I heard a knock on my door, my door Who was there? What are you doing here? I'm really not sure you should be here right now Because I'm going. It's getting a little pricey that you should be in Sweden, my friend because it's the only place for you I hear they have really nice gear of sorts there. You should be in Sweden, my friend. Yeah, you should be in Sweden. Get yourself to Sweden I'll tell you what we can do You're not bent on calling me and we'll do lunch, I'm sure. Your fax machine can fax my bags and it will get in touch with your answering machine's secretary. Your hair doesn't shine like it used to. You're not using that conditioner I gave you last year for your birthday. It was salon selected. I thought you would like it. And now I'm so scared. I'm pale as white. I would invite you to sit but I didn't want you to ruin my new sofa. I've felt this too many times. I just got myself back up the nerve to say, the nerve that you should be in Sweden, my friend. What are you doing here? You should be in Sweden. You can ski when you're there. You should be in Sweden, my friend. Yeah, get yourself to Sweden. I don't care how you do it. Just go to Sweden. Go to Sweden. I'll tell you what we can do. You're not bent on calling me, but we'll do lunch, I'm sure. Your fax machine can fax me back and get in touch with my cappuccino maker. You're not bent on calling me, and we'll talk for a while, I'm sure. You can get back my postcard machine and it'll get in touch with your answering machine's secretary.

I saw you at the subway the other day You were drinking hot chocolate I thought about asking you for a sip but on second thought I didn't want to burn my tongue I chased you up the stairs and outside I got into a taxi cab I didn't want to see you, you were looking good I wanted to cool off and take some time out of the busy day I heard a knock on my door, my door Who was there? What are you doing here? I'm really not sure you should be here right now Because I'm going. It's getting a little pricey that you should be in Sweden, my friend because it's the only place for you I hear they have really nice gear of sorts there. You should be in Sweden, my friend. Yeah, you should be in Sweden. Get yourself to Sweden I'll tell you what we can do You're not bent on calling me and we'll do lunch, I'm sure. Your fax machine can fax my bags and it will get in touch with your answering machine's secretary. Your hair doesn't shine like it used to. You're not using that conditioner I gave you last year for your birthday. It was salon selected. I thought you would like it. And now I'm so scared. I'm pale as white. I would invite you to sit but I didn't want you to ruin my new sofa. I've felt this too many times. I just got myself back up the nerve to say, the nerve that you should be in Sweden, my friend. What are you doing here? You should be in Sweden. You can ski when you're there. You should be in Sweden, my friend. Yeah, get yourself to Sweden. I don't care how you do it. Just go to Sweden. Go to Sweden. I'll tell you what we can do. You're not bent on calling me, but we'll do lunch, I'm sure. Your fax machine can fax me back and get in touch with my cappuccino maker. You're not bent on calling me, and we'll talk for a while, I'm sure. You can get back my postcard machine and it'll get in touch with your answering machine's secretary.

Khoobsoorti sadaf ki be misaal hoti hai.... Raaz hai uska jo chipa us mein ek moti hai..... Sadaf ke do pat gar misaal e miya biwi hain... Unki shadi ka rishta hi woh chipa moti hai... Naazuk magar bohot woh baareek taar hota hai. .... Jo us moti ko bana ke haar apne mein pirota hai... Lamhe se lamha judta hai to ek zindagi banti hai... Aur do zindagiyan milti hai to ek shadi ki ladi banti hai... Qadam se qadam milane mein khud ki pehchaan bhi khoti hai... Alag se rang mein rangi phir shaksiyat dono ki nikharti hai.... Azwaji zindagi ke kuch apne masale bhi hote hain... Kaanton se bhari raahon mein paththar bhi biche hote hain.... Zakhm in rahon par chal kar zaroor hasil hote hain... Tab woh dono hi to ek duje ka marham hote hain... 17 saalon mein maine to bas itna hi seekha hai.... Hai woh kaamyaab rishta mohabbat se jisko seecha hai... Sona chandi jis tarah ek aurat ko sajata hai... Pyar o ehteraam waise hi rishte ko banata hai... Wafa ka bhi to ek bohot ehm muqaam hota hai... Qaayam uske dam pe hi to aitmaad hota hai.... Kuch aise hi to daqeeq yeh uroosi rishte hote hain.... Beinteha mohabbat se jinhe in jodon ne seechein hain... 25 o 50 salon ka yeh safar e taweel mubarak ** .. Aapko yeh khoobsurat qaid e hayaat mubarak ** .. Dua karti hain "Ain" laa zawal mausam e ulfat ** Masrur rahe hayaat, har lamha pur rifaqat **

Shaadi ki saalgira par....(Wedding anniversary celebrations)
People often say now I understand When they hear that I'm from Paree Not Gay Paree silly, but redneck In the heart of Tennessee I am the newest style of hairdressers Here to lay out all the facts I no longer work on the tops of heads But straight out of the pits It all happened when I got bored With the every day to day Trimming of the head left me feeling dead That's when it hit me..."Underarm Braid" That right there was my life saver That right there was my turn around If it didn't make me world famous At least it did on this side of town Now people come from as far as Nashville To have their underarms done I even gave a left and right pit Mohawk To the Governor's daughter and son What? Did you think I only braided? There's so much more that I can do Just ask the Punk Rock Chick's that wait in line To have their armpits colored blue My older clientele have let there hair grow out Since it is they learned I'm now specializing in for both women and men Their favorite sets and perms So feel the freedom of the pits That hippie chicks have long since known Here at Michael's Salon Of Pits We'll do something special with that growth

Michael's Salon Of Pits
GREEN Chapter One As Kenya lie on the floor at Club Envy with her lungs burning and filling up with blood from being shot by an unknown person she thought her life would never end like this.  Kenya tears started to flow as she thought of the years she spent silthering with snakes.  Her job at the BNB Bank made it easy to launder money for the Black Crime Syndicate.  It was six years ago in the month of June that her life took a downward spiral. Upset at the thought of being late for work Kenya floored the gas pedal.  As she passed by the slow moving drivers weaving in and out of traffic Kenya hoped she didn't get a ticket.  I just had to stay up late watching the marathon of Funny Man.  Now I got to race the clock and pray I don't get stopped by the police thought Kenya as she sped past the other drivers.  As Kenya pulled into the BNB Bank parking lot she checked the time. "It's 7:55a.m.  I made it within five minutes." Kenya got out of her car and walked through the bank's glass doors. As time passed the employees of BNB got the bank ready for the public.  One of the three people that arrived at the time of opening was a new face.  Mmmmmm yummy thought Kenya as she walked up to the tall light skinned man. "Hello sir how may I help you?" asked Kenya as she eyed the man up and down. "My name is Malik Maxwell Williams.  I would like to open a checking and savings account" answered the tall light skinned man. "Mr. Williams please follow me to my office." As Kenya and Malik sat in Kenya's office filling out papers Kenya made it up in her mind that she would get to know Malik on a personal level.  After a days work Kenya got behind the wheel of her red BMW and started her drive home.  On her way home.  On her way home Kenya called her best friend Jewel Stonewall. "Hello Jewel how are you?" asked Kenya with one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand holding her cellphone. "I'm doing great Kenya.  What's up?" answered Jewel Stonewall as she did one of her client's hair at her salon the Golden Scissors. "Are we still on for Saturday?" With a confused look on her face Jewel asked "Is the day Friday already?" "Yeah girl what day did you think it was?" "To tell you the truth Kenya I thought the day was Thursday." "No Jewel it's Friday.  I'm glad I have a friend who owns a hair salon." "You better be thankful.  I'll talk with you later Kenya." "Ok by Jewel." Kenya Ayanna Night was a plain looking black woman in her 30's who lived a very plain life.  She always looked forward to Saturday.  A day she would spend at the Golden Scissors getting her hair done and talking with Jewel Stonewall her childhood friend.
