At River's Edge


AT RIVER’s EDGE

 

It’s River’s Edge, the place to go

for hair and nails to make you glow.

 

Ann and Shelly, call them by name.

Beautification is their game.

 

The artistry for work they do

seems magical and fun to view.

 

Relax at River’s Edge each week.

Leave with the elegance you seek!

(I dedicate the poem above to Shelly Alghareeb and Ann Lott, two artists extraordinaire. For more information about River's Edge in Pueblo, Colorado, check out the salon's Facebook page.)

Cinderella Herstory

 

Another Cinderella? Yes!

But I love it, I must confess.

A musical with lots of fun.

Any complaints? No, I have none.

 

Our leading lady needs no Prince.

Basement life doesn’t make her wince.

She makes dresses and wants to sell.

A business woman time will tell.

 

But, oh that handsome Prince is nice!

He loves her never mind the price.

What can they do to work things out?

They have to, fans, so we can shout.    

 

Magic and music through it all.

And don’t worry, there’s quite a ball.

Colorful costumes fill the screen

    Plus robust dancing is so keen.     .

 

Stand-out performances you’ll see.

It’s Cinderella herstory.
