Little fur balls -----
A cotton candy full of nitrogen
Not so edible
But extremely lustrous just like a
Cirrocumulus cloud curled up and round ;
Ahh! beautiful and shampooed a moments --- relief but soon takes its own course - and there begins the malady ....mixture of waves, currents and tides...... dark black and few white,
Sometimes henna charms them up
But again after a nap and gap they are mixture of a feathered nest while Jong cat looks like some yogi getting ready for a dip in Ganga ,
Difficult to comb, just difficult to tackle just like Jong cat who is nasty and high with temper ready to bust like a balloon ... at the moment
Scissors, rollers, tongs ,straighteners, gels and serums played their part but without success and the feathered nest or cyclone continued sitting on Jong's head
While Jong cat boiled with a temper to look at;
After a few more try Jong cat declared," These are full of tantrums I am fed up -
I will donate them at"Tirupati Balaji" if they don't behave and smoothen, these masses of cumulus clouds ...so tumultuous...I am ready to part with them".
Oh no! Oh no, replied mum," You can dear cat, you can't! ..Shhh.....
Corona is outside and ready to pounce on....
Just pour some water and let it rain
after that come here and get your glee monkey hairs combed..."
Cumulus needs love and care a therapy of spell and magic to wane - dai dai dai.... Sho sho sho here comes a paste....... Of magic and Ah haa! After a wash.... they smoothen and easy to comb, without a tangle without a fuss magic worked out well ,
..Jong as cool as Greater Himalayas.....
Decorating her erstwhile cumulus with bric a brac asked mum - Oh mum, what was the spell you applied...?
Mum replied..with a smile - It's a spell of honey, aloe, amla, curd, onion, hibiscus, eggs made with love that smoothened your meandering hairs, a secret spell and success for generations!

Post Scriptum - Dedicated to my funny sister jong , depicting her hilarious deeds with her hairs, which are just like cirrocumulus cloud.
