I use to wear it centre parted. <br /> But now alas it has departed <br />When I was young I had thick hair <br />but now my head’s completely bare. <br />I wear a hat against the sun <br /> a sunburnt scalp is not much fun. <br />The only plus that I can see <br />I need not pay a barbers fee <br /> nor spend my money on shampoo <br />As hirsute men are forced to do. <br />A sign of masculinity <br /> they say though I would rather be <br />Possessor of a well thatched head <br /> than one from which all hair has fled. <br /> <br />1-Jun-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/baldly-stated/
