Toupee
Toupee, or not toupee,
that is the question:
whether 'tis nobler on the head
to suffer the slings and arrows
of outrageous alopecia
or to take wigs against a sea of baldness,
wear them as a buffer,
the whips and scorns stem,
and by opposing end them.
Ay, that's the nub.
With apologies to William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)

Cheeky baby swaggerCoocoo doodle I do,
Not every day I coo,
What Mum can do, I can –
My skin needs a sun tan.
My hair with homemade curls,
My makeup shines like pearls.
I'm just a baby, see,
Acting adult, maybe.
Bring napkins for wee-wee,
Ensure fun flows for free.
Tie me nappies for poo.
And bandage my boo-boo.
Baby guys will whistle,
Love – their own epistle.
While I...

Though I keep on thinkin' 'bout you,
you can't see it in my eyes.

And I promise you
I'll make it worth your while.
Will I meet you there in...

A Strange PairThere was an old man from Fargo,
With a wife whose name was Margo.
They were quite the pair
Neither had much hair
They traveled the world with no cargo!

You're On My MindSaw you just a week ago
Couldn’t bring myself to say hello
Still, you’re on my mind
I can’t forget the way you looked
Hair light brown and eyes of blue
Never even spoke with you
You still linger on my mind
I may not be in love with you
But someday I sure hope...

Encouraging WordsI admit I've lost my hair,
but you won't hear me cry or swear.
Gershon's comment gave me hope,
so now I have a way to cope.
I will take a different tack,
and wish that it comes back....

danced to and fro a moment there
her flowery skirt swayed
to a melody no orchestra played

Sirius is approaching the gate
dragging the hot and humid like bait.
Scorching dog days are back.
A violent attack!
I fear I will burn my shaven pate!

It seems that a cow licked his head
His back hairs went one way
While his front hairs did stay

A Girl's Black Hairwhen I
young I
was well
and tell
my friends
split ends
my hair
not fair
but clean
not mean
I wash
and brush
my locks
like ducks
to say
like fay
I sing
and swing
and fly
not cry
to dry
not fry
under
hot air
my own
full grown
long hair
black hair
love you
just you
sweet you
black you!

Words to My Love

This is Vivien’s “coming out” poem, although the term wasn’t coined until many years after Vivien’s death. The poem was written about forbidden love to a girlfriend and lover.
Please understand me: an unusual creature,
not so very good, or bad; perhaps a bit...

Love Lingers in the AirI can still feel your lips on mine,
And your fingers tangled in my hair.
I still smell your sweet perfume—
It lingers softly in the air.
It’s as if you're with me every hour,
As if your love gives my heart its power.
As if I’ve known you a thousand years—
And would fall for you again through joy and tears.
Won’t...

Plight of the WightNever again to know fresh air,
Combing worms from my matted hair.
No one remains who’d ever care —
Tied to my grave, this lonesome baire.
I must escape the sun’s harsh glare,
Tread carefully down crumbling stair,
Descend into my crypt just there,
Where I sit alone in dark despair.
Upon my ancient worm-eaten chair,
Inside my vaulted charnel house lair,
Such a sad...
