One Grey Hair
She sounded such a bonny lass;
so pretty, shapely and well bred.
(For sure, she was outside his class).
She'd be annoyed; she'd been misled.
He shook with fear;
the time was near...
He sighed and gazed into the glass.
'My word, I'm looking old,' he said.
He had a date but would he pass
for thirty-five? You liar, Fred!
He combed his hair
(just one hair there...)
for Constance's 'One Grey Hair' contest, 25th February 2018
as soon as I saw the contests's title, I just pictured a guy with one grey hair & nothing else on his head!
