Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Balder Than An Alder

Clyde was shocked when he looked in the mirror

   His plight he noted clearer and clearer

      He was growing balder

         Like a leafless alder

            He would have no more need for a shearer

Robert Pettit January 14, 2012 at 7:43 PM Clyde must have been carrying a certain gene on his X-chromosome. The trait is expressed due to the mismatch of a Y chromosome. Good limerick about the problem of pattern baldness in men, Bob.

Debbie Guzzi January 13, 2012 at 2:54 PM Bob try this link you will love it...I should have sent it before Christmas but I just watched it myself! Light & Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxjZB5S_g7s&feature=youtu.be

Robert Johnson January 12, 2012 at 2:17 PM Clyde is so lucky he is losing his hair. When it is all gone, he'll not have a care. The barber is glad that Clyde's son lives in town. Otherwise, his barbershop, he'd have to shut down. Thank's for the help on the word coup. I must have looked up 20 definitions before I found it. The english language. whhhhh!
