Jun Gonzales Poet Sonnet

I Greatly Fear I'Ll Lose My Hair

CXLIII

I greatly fear that I shall lose my hair
That happens at an age seems only fair
And yet this heart of mine could not prepare
The thought they'll disappear gives quite a scare

I wish they would just turn to white or grey
Or else be in a mindless disarray
I'd rather spend too much on barber's pay
Than wear some silly hat or gay toupee

For I had mocked with cruel terms did call
In summer when my childish brain was small
May winter come without an autumn's fall
And not awake an angry she bear's maul

It matters not my hope might vanish soon
At least we'll see a lovely, bright new moon
