Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 24, 2023

Strangely there is at least one deciduous conifer that I know of: Tamarack (The duckduckgo says there are three). Frazz may be looking for a rhyme with “never-seen”.

Evergreen rhymes with Salonifer?

I didn’t know there was a tree that dyed its leaves.

Women are perennial.

How about ‘rhymes with something that rhymes with “dye their hair” ’ ?(OK, I’m being cheeky; I’m a 72-yo man and my hair (what’s left) is only just beginning to change colour.)

Iwhen my hair started turni gray a few yars ago I tried dying it. No such luck. My scalp blistered horibly. I tried to completely different brands with the same result. My hair is now a gun metal fray and I’ve accepted it. I’m blessed with hair that is still thick at 68, so I can accept it turning gray.

I know one old lady whose hair went gray. It made her so angry she blue her top.

rhymes with “salonifer” I don’t get it. If there is such word as salonifer I can find it and have no idea what the joke is supposed to be

Can’t think of a word that rhymes with salonifer.

When a man goes grey, he’s old and wise. When a woman goes grey, she’s old.

Miss Clairol – Only her hair dresser knows for sure :)

“Salonifer”. I like it. Some of us dye our hair because we weren’t happy with the original color, but changing colors with the seasons sounds like a lot of fun, too!

Larches are deciduous conifers!

Oh no, was the rhyme actually “Girls go to juniper” and we were saying it wrong all those years ago…?

You left off the “-ous” for parallel structure, Frazz.

Clever. Too bad it is botanically incorrect.

A number of women stopped dying their hair during Covid.

I enjoy seeing women who let their hair go grey, and still wear it longish.
