Saturday's Storyteller: Haircut

Haircut
by Belinda Roddie

Shannon's got a mohawk. Alice shaved her head.

Benny dyed his hair purple, and Jayson dyed theirs red.

Clifford kept his rattail, while Laura tied her braids.

Moises wore beads in their hair to many accolades.

Grace has got a buzzcut, and Frankie's got a mullet.

This week's prompt was provided by Arden Roddie.
