He Says Goodbye

He now says goodbye to his trusted friends
So much missed now, as their time ends  

Their road together had its ups and downs
A visual spectrum, from dapper to clowns

Though he fought to keep them from going astray
A stubborn few had to go there own way

He tried to stall their leaving, to no avail
With those left remaining their pallor a tale

A natural departure, not diabolical 
He misses each one, every fallen follicle!
