Vanity! (Poetry Form Nineteen: Little Willie)

For April Fool’s Day, here is a simple but macabre verse form called the Little Willie. This one is for Caroline, and her helpful “natural hair colouring” advice.
Oh, happy NaPoWriMo everybody! Good luck!

Sarah’s hair is turning grey

And so she’s been convinced to try

To boil her head in woad all day.

Oh Sarah dear, it’s time to dye!
