Nail and hair- the human decor

Nail and hair- the human decor

Without nail, and hair, can a man survive?
Are they required in human life? Let us discuss and describe.
Perhaps in the process of evolution from monkeys to men,
These two could not vanish, hence they had to remain.
Unlike hands and legs they keep on growing,
As they do not die or wither on or off the body even without blood flowing.
Without nail, hands and fingers lose their strength and beauty
Without hair, man looks ugly; perhaps this is hair’s duty.
Minor are protection from sun and rain,
If a coconut falls on the head, hardly its impact the hair can sustain.
For some unlucky guys hair vanishes in phases,
But it is special to men but why not in women’s cases?

For Artificial beauty and variation in complexion,
To suit the taste as per our choice, we go to the shop of a beautician.
On other limbs of the body, we have no control,
For these science is yet to develop against God a challenge protocol.
But nail and hair a novice can alter,
Many industries have come up with many products to offer.
No specialization exists in medical profession on nail and hair,
But to retain our good look, we bother too much and run after the doctor.
May be one billion people are engaged in the profession related to nail and hair,
And one hundred billion dollars might be transacted per annum as its market share.
Husband cannot recognize his wife after her visit to a beauty parlor,
Beauty of moustache glorifies the masculine gender.
Some keep only moustache and some sport a French cut beard,
to suit his taste or the taste of his so called beloved.
The old age identification was the color of hair being grey,
No longer is it valid, as so money types of hair dyes are in fray.
An eighty year old can flaunt his black gleaming hair,
The silky blck hair of a girl can turn blonde by dye Garnier.
Earlier type of hair and the curls on them,
Used to determine the country from which a man came
At times the requirement of nail becomes so intense,
To counter the itching on back, the value of nail is felt as immense.
If at that time God comes and offers a choice of a boon,
Nothing will strike the brain except a sharp nail to be granted soon.
Children use nails as their weapon,
To express their anger and frustration.
Long hairs help one’s weaponless enemy,
To pull him down by hair put a blow on him

If we look at the glory of hair and nail,
The brain, heart and stomach look so pale.
