THEIR OWN STORY
By Jeff Gray
My technique in fixing hair
Is worth a ton of gold
I make the old look young
And the young look old.
—Edith Wade.
Since I installed radio
Out where I milk each day
I get a lot more milk
For a lot less hay.
—George Latta.
I feel that I am lucky
As I have natural curls
And I’ll never hate the boys
Who love that type of girls!
