Balding

Holy crappola My hair's thinning out I'm much too young It's making me pout My pride and joy My whole life through Can't imagine me bald Bet neither can you Given this guy is So rugged and stylish Admittedly sometimes A trifle bit childish A dapper chappy But with everything said My crowning glory Is up on my head It defines who I am No will to carry on If I wake up one day And my coiffure is gone So take a good look At my profile pic The thought of me bald Is making me sick © Jack Ellison 2012

Always entertaining to read through these old works here. Some of our features really do define who we are. Just thinking of losing them can be a little disconcerting. Always, Laura

You don't know what you're saying! Once shaved my head in Photoshop to see what I'd look like! Ugh! Took me weeks to recover with the help of a shrink!!!
