JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Hair Consultant candidate "Floirda Pete" Harrison wrote an inspiring poem titled, It's a Garufi Life, on the Poetry Forum, as a way to promote this web site to the many troubled teenagers who regularly visit the literary forum.

"I wrote that poem because this web site is awesome! The poetry forum needed some levity as well." wrote Pete.

Pete contrasted his hard work in writing a smooth-reading poem (with rhymes, no less!) to his two opponents, who have never done such a thing. "Have any of the other Hair Consultant candidates written poems for you? I thought not."

"The only person who has ever written a poem for me (besides Pete) has been Cheyenne Rose (in Texas). That was a few years ago." recalled Steve.

Below is the text of Florida Pete's poem:

"It's a Garufi Life"

He lives in downtown Manitou,
And "Boki" is his friend.
He likes to eat at "Spice Of Life",
His laundry baffles him.

I find myself returning,
to his website 'cause I care.
Some reason it's concerning me,
Who consults him 'bout his hair.

His life is so exciting,
In a third grade sort of way.
When toilet paper goes deplete
It somehow makes his day!

He's loaded up with talent,
His mind's a swiss watch ticking.
His forehead squashes doughnuts,
He speaks of booger picking.

I wonder where he'll link me next?
Look, his stomach's like a pie!
Now he's kissing cactus, Ow!
Got a needle in his eye.

He says he's from New Jersey,
But, to me that sounds absurd.
I saw him sitting in a car,
He didn't "flip the bird".

I know enough by now, at least,
If it's within my powers.
Not to take a trip with Steve,
In a car for seven hours.
