Bald and Hairy

"It hurts bald men as much as hairy men to have their hairs pulled out." 
~Seneca

The bald man moans
for his house, rooted up,
dripping above the sewer.
A q tip might plug it. 
Alcohol might fix it for weeks.

The hairy man sues
for his house, shooted up
miles above the hustle.
An underhanded tip will save it.
Alcohol could cover it forever.

Seneca's hair must have covered 
his eyes.
