Inextricably Rooted With Hair Fixation

Inextricably rooted with hair fixation As a lad in grade school, yours truly, (a diminutive, intuitive, oversensitive, and vegetative potato head kid, whose voice exhibited a severe nasal twang) felt envious at other boys, especially those young bucks who sported budding antlers plus thick thatch of hair. Even now as a grown man of three score plus three earthly orbitz, (come January thirteenth add another Roman Numeral one), I (an aging long haired pencil necked geek) idolize guys genetically gifted with a full - high scoring rack plus luscious non dreadful locks. Mine grungy unkempt appearance immediate trademark characteristic feature for more'n half my existence on terrestrial plain, represented antiauthority, familiarity, insularity, minority, peculiarity, security, and vulgarity (nah), which most likely undermined my quest acquiring gainful employment, encouraging heterosexual monogamous relationships (prior to meeting the missus), and unearthing the Holy Grail. Analogous to Samson courtesy thru poetry, I exercise futile search for Delilah; She most likely wants nothing from an old quacking geezer alternate self appellation for no particular rhyme nor reason; Now bring unto one donning barren “fake” trumpeting Caesar seven salad dressings deep in ego freezer and lettuce deign at your plea azure. Underneath façade of mien scruffiness can be found amazingly graceful fella with boyish good looks, innocence and naiveté to boot, especial body dysmorphic disorder regarding chicken legs re: spindleshanks, (which serve as laughingstock of dis hair reed ole coot) oft times clad with deep purple polka dotted sweatpants don nontrumpeting Norwegian bachelor galoot. Asian old wise owl chimes and utters embarrassing non repeatable hoot, thus even bestowed with ample loot to purchase peloton bike would be laudatory suggestion, nevertheless vigorous exercise point iz moot cuz said skinny limbs foregone conclusion impossible mission anatomical feature aye, (nor anyone else could ever troubleshoot). See them dang toothpick spindleshanks aforementioned limbs accoutered for walking permanently stunted on par with boy build courtesy anorexia nervosa, I experienced during prepubescence wood comprise subject of mooch talking especially if yours truly wore shorts, or even daresay skivvies out in public. Both above listed portion of poem I write surprisingly, truthfully, and aye preferably, and uncomfortably uninvite today January 8th, 2023 actually tonight to rendezvous somewhere in cyber space/time after posting preposterous poem electronically date/time stamped 01/8/2023 4:23:21 PM present to these myopic eyes a scary sight regarding regular instances I shower as occurred earlier... quite lamentable, these twiggy body parts gave Lesley Hornby Dame Lesley Lawson DBE legs her stock in trade, but blink to fast, and she becomes an oversight born September 19, 1949 still going strong, flitting light to and fro, hither and yon an English model, actress, and singer renown during the nineteen sixties approximately 5' 6? in height widely known by the nickname Twiggy got serious money by the pound, when upstart me ten years her junior totally unbeknownst to her if so, she would serious take flight. Matthew Scott Harris bejesus, he tried (think self starvation) nearly successful being unseen, yours truly set his permanent physique as one wimpy, scraggly, and nerdy teen unlike above faded former star regaled as Twiggy on silver screen, yet his posthumous fifteen minutes of fame encompasses poetic style like (like for real) never see arose during 2020 pandemic i.e. coronavirus COVID-19 quarantine and commenced quirky endeavor crafting slapdash poetaster faux philistine nonsensical, heretical (rather hair reticle), and atypical ridiculous rhyme wondering if ye keen find any redeeming quality courtesy this human haz been.
