A Big Boohoo and a Hiss

Sure like to share my innermost thoughts Haven't yet found where they're hidden Searched and searched but really no luck Gonna put out a Lost Data bulletin Sure they were there the last time I checked But that was way back in my teens At some point between back then and now They're totally missing it seems Other stuff's missing like my wavy black hair It once was my crowning glory It's now really thin and getting thinner It's white for which I'm quite sorry Heard some people age rather gracefully That ain't the case with yours truly As well as thin and white with some cooties It's really unmanageable and unruly Should have expected this turn of events From a handsome young fellow to this So I've had to accept I'm less of a charmer Here's a big boohoo and a hiss! © Jack Ellison 2015

Yeh I agree Jack grow old disgracefully, its so much more fun. However, I think my family have had enough of the same old jokes. Time truly does move too fast though. Loved this piece Jack!. Kind Regards my friend.7

AM I late for the party? What was on the table? A platter of white hair? From where? Oh but Jack has perfected this style I think. putting out something to laugh at himself. There's some hidden agenda, though. Surreptitiously inserts references to his being quite handsome in his heyday! 7 for the try...lol Hugs and smiles. :D Kim

I've a small bald spot on top. That I thought to hide with a blue hair extention. Dragon said Uh! Uh! No Way! Cause he doesn't want competition! Besides if I do it, people will look, and see the wrinkles I have. Where will it end, as I add make up, lipstick, and other assorted stuff! Think I'll forget about all that, and find another way. How about I take a nap to find that perfect Beauty Sleep. But it might take more sleep than, the time I've got, so you'll just have to put up with me! TEE HEE!

Great write! This fits me to a tee. The only thing graceful for me is my walking. Age makes you slow down! Love it!
