Now for V on a Plate. There were not a lot of V's. And this one is technically an O. However, the person who owned the car with this plate was in the car reading when I spied it for O. When I asked whether the o's were zeros, or was it the word "oodoo", he said that actually he was using the red Veteran's V for a part of the plate's word, and it was really VOODOO. So, out of respect for his interpretation of his plate, I am including it in the V plates. I do have other V plates, so it isn't like this is cheating. I really tried "vollie" but it just wasn't cutting it.
A bit of magic in the air
A bit of charming golden hair
A pair of little silver clippers
A bit of hair cut by the snippers
The curls all fall down to the floor
Shortened by the clipper chore
Locks are swept in to the pan
Thrown away as best they can
Such transformation, no boo-hoo
As hairstylist does her voodoo.

That first plate is very clever!
ReplyDeleteLovely lock clipping ode. I worried it was headed for Sampson, but I was happy that it was a joyful ending. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother last minute entry for me!

Great idea for a theme - have you been collecting plates for a while, or do you work somewhere that has easy access? Fun. As for May, I will be spending part of it trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge folks I haven't been able to get to yet. So many!
ReplyDeleteStarted collecting this past summer!
DeleteGood luck on getting through the AtoZ!
Love the trick ending. I was sure the locks were going to be used for magic!
ReplyDeleteIt did look that way and it IS how I got the idea to start the poem. Didn't know where it was going to end, but I knew it wasn't going to be magic, as that's just not in my vocabulary! So it was a surprise ending for ME too!
