A Write For All Us Bald Guys
A Write for All Us Bald Guys
By Elton Camp
Making fun of some person’s physical features
Is not done except by the most vicious creatures
It is unacceptable to point out an enormous nose
And mock that it was once part of a garden hose
Or to tell some man that his face is as ugly as hell
Is something that only the crudest person will tell
Good manners, out the window quickly are sped
When people spot a man who has a bald head
They feel is all right to draw mocking attention
To his lack of hair by open and sneering mention
The victim of the inappropriate and crude remark
Is expect to “be a good sport” as if it’s just a lark
Although such rudeness I absolutely do hate
Most of the time I try very hard not to retaliate
Delinquents who mocked Elisha for his bald head
At the claws of two she-bears, 42 ended up dead
So whenever one, for lack of hair ridicules me
I look around, a she-bear sort of hoping to see
