A Hairy Situation

Last night I had a vivid nightmare, When I awoke, I'd lost all my hair. It lay in a pile on top of my bed, Wish I knew how it vacated my head. The very next night, I had the same dream. When I awoke, I started to scream. Instead of hair piled high on my sheet, It all grew back on the soles of my feet. So frightened, I didn't know what to do, I called my barber and podiatrist too. They both told me I had to be brave, My barber came by and gave me a shave. The podiatrist came the following day, Was baffled and didn't know what to say. At last, he said I had nothing to lose, "Maybe you need a new pair of shoes." The barber feared I'd have an attack, Cause after each shave, it kept growing back. Every doctor I saw, just said to me, "I'm sorry, but it's not my specialty." In the end, I came to a conclusion, All of this was no simple illusion. Even though I find it quite scary, I'm now wearing shoes that are quite hairy.
