Toilets, running sinks, and showers
Threaten to zap you if I flee
My cord dangles giving me my powers
Breathing out of me heat you cannot see
Low, Medium, or High heat
I can turn Cool at the push of a button too
Your hair using me to cheat
But be careful not to burn off all that shampoo
My friends sit next to me
Some go unused
Like the hair protector
You are supposed to use
Other of my friends feel afraid
Especially the Toothbrush
You smother him,
Drown him,
And force him into your mouth
My dear friend
The foundation
Is slowly being
Powdered away
I lay here on the counter,
Floor, or just in the cabinet
I wait till you need me
For the moment you wish
To suck the water
Out of your hair
I watch you style away
Using me and my friends for your desire
When you are done you leave us straightaway
I get lonely till our next adventure,
just your simple hair dryer
