Touch Not-

Touch Not…

Love was blooming, wedding.
 “Touch not my hair,” said the groom.
‘Twas said because he was balding.
Toupee flew off in wind… Zoom!

Humor is an intelligent accomplishment - said I I see you used an abab rhyming pattern in this funny Chastushka. I can see a Russian, bold groom with an inconvenient piece of rug on his head :) Love, Iolanda
