the Thing

Beware! Beware!
For there is a thing
That lives under your hair.
You probably aren't aware
That it's even there.
You wash your own hair
And don't even care
That there is a thing
That lives under your hair.
You look and you stare
While asking me "Where?"
Where is this thing
That lives under my hair.
And I tell you again
It is under your hair.
So how do you tear
This thing from your hair?
You should not dare,
Since that would be trouble
You cold not bear.
So how does one deal
With this thing, this thing
That lives under your hair?
Just be aware, that it is there.
For if you leave it not to care
It will seize you, most unfair.
