A bandanna is a joyful 21 inch square of colorful cotton which falls
in love with your head.
Awesome bandannas have great patterns in their center as well as
around their edges. What's closer to the center is what will show
when the bandanna is in its favorite spot in the whole world, which
is around your head.
When you fold a bandanna, make the patterns symmetrical, and look
for cool messages they can carry. Bandannas' patterns can put
arches over your eyebrows or suggest horns on your head. They
can suggest a red spot on your forehead to make you look like an
Indian. At the beach you can stick gull feathers in your bandanna
and look like a different kind of Indian. Your bandanna will hold
flowers you put in your hair. Always pick flowers in colors that
will go well with your bandanna.
Bandannas are social critters. They don't like to be alone. They
really bond with their owner. As their owner, you'll find they
enjoy being around your neck or in your pocket (especially if they
can peek out!), but most of all, they enjoy being around your head.
When not wearing a bandanna, put it with all your other bandannas
in a box or a drawer. Bandannas like to hang out with other bandannas.
After you wash them, hang them on a line together.
Bandannas are loyal. Even if all your friends desert you, your
bandannas will stay with you. Neither creditors nor thieves will
ever take your bandannas - at two bucks a pop brand new, they only
have value to you, and they will be yours for life. If you do lose
them, you will always have enough money to buy new bandannas.
You can put your bandanna around your head, over your head to make
a cap, or around your neck. You can put it through a belt loop of
your pants, or in a pocket and if you want no one will know it is
there. So you can always have your bandanna, and if you do, you
will never in your life be alone.
Bandannas really like longhairs. They know if we hadn't have bought
them, they might be spending their lives as some shorthair's hanky,
soaking up snot. Passing one's days wrapped around a gorgeous mane
is what bandannas dream of.
Sadly, bandannas don't live long. They are fragile. Also, the more
they hang out with you in the sun, the more they fade. So take care
of them. When they get old, you can keep them forever because they
don't take up much space.
