Playful Reversal of Identity

This brief, playful poem explores perception and surprise through a witty twist. The speaker confidently believes they have wavy hair, but after shaving discovers their hair is actually straight while their head is "wavy." The humor relies on a sudden reclassification of identity and a pun on physical description, prompting readers to reconsider assumptions and the language used to describe appearance in a compact, childlike voice.
