Bald

A peeled onion is what I'm being called.
I'm pushing 50 years old and I'm going bald.
My hair is falling out at an alarming rate.
Women hate it, I can no longer get a date.

I bought a toupee but it was blown off by a gust of wind.
Everybody started laughing at me, even my own friends.
Some people think I have cancer and that I'm taking chemotherapy.
I can't believe how fast it's falling out, somebody up there must hate me.
