Big, Big 'Fro (not) by Robert Burns



not by Robert Burns



my hair is like a big, big 'fro,

that's shaped up like a heart:

my hair is like the valentine,

that's given like a tart.


it is so huge, my giant 'fro,

so in high style am i:

and I will keep this style, of hair,

because it is so fly.


because it is so fly, my hair,

and i love it very much:

and i will keep this style, of hair,

shaped like a heart and such.


so think of us, my 'fro and i,

remember us with a smile,

for you can see my 'fro and i,

cross a country mile.


"My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" is a 1794 song in Scots by Robert Burns based on traditional sources. The song is also referred to by the title My Love is Like A Red, Red Rose or Red, Red Rose and is often published as a poem.

When asked for the source of his greatest creative inspiration, American singer songwriter Bob Dylan selected Burns' 1794 song A Red, Red Rose, as the lyrics that have had the biggest impact on his life.

i have

I’ve had times
I’ve waited... deliberated
I’ve had times
I’ve gone ahead and done
but either way
I’ve found myself
exactly where I’ve come.

And once my mind was set to go
where ever it is I’ve gone
I’ve picked up what was left behind,
kept it as my own.

And any love I’ve ever held,
known dearly, deeply true
remains with me, upon my heart
the old beside the new.
