REDHEAD!

How many hopeful gentlemen have gone to Redhead Beach,

Hoping to meet a girl with auburn hair?

And how many men have drifted home despondent and downcast

Because they didn't find a red-head there?

Only three percent of humanity is blessed with russet locks,

And most of them are braw redheaded Celts,

With a sprinkling of freckles, an aversion to the sun,

And a good old haggis tucked beneath their belts!

Most have fiery tempers and are passionate as well;

One could almost say that they are quite mercurial.

This description suits them whatever sex they be,

Whether the name is Malcolm or it's Muriel!

Some famous names will come to mind; Ginger Rogers, Danny Kaye,

Greer Garson, Rita Hayworth, Lucille Ball,

Woody Allen, Spencer Tracey, Nicole Kidman, Clara Bow......

They were famous and, indeed, were red-heads all.

But see the sign above which has a girl with auburn hair

Coaxing young men to dally in the sun!

I'd say that it's false advertising! All the men will find

Is a pinkish cliff! And Redheads? Not a one!
