One Hair On a Balding Man's Head

*spot poetry written in 15 minutes or less about any random subject


 I am the hair on a balding man's head
 not lying down but standing instead
 Choosing to fight the battle alone
 escaping the scissors, evading the comb
 Keeping the faith down through the years
 dodging the blade of the old barber's shears

As I'm reading this I notice a hair growth advertisement on the page! Ironic that I'm relatively bald. Well done ode to that pesky stray hair.

Thx Robert. We used to go down to the coffee shop and play 'spot poetry' for hours! Just pick a random subject and write about it under a time limit.
