Hair Raiser

Hair Raiser

Why are there hairs in your nose Daddy?
Why are there hairs in your nose?
They grow as you get older son
That’s the way it goes.

Why are there hairs on your chest Daddy?
Why are there no hairs on mine?
Hairs on your chest come later my son
Hairs on your chest, take time.

Why are there no hairs on your head Daddy?
Why not a hair on your head?
Hair on the head is an optional Extra
Now eat up your dinner, then BED...

Hilarious, La"hair"rious I can relate to this one on a grandma's level. My dark hair (which is now gray on top) is balanced by jet black eyebrows and occasionally (when I get lazy) a dark mustache. Witty with humor, excellent piece.
