By Jerold J. Golner
I look in the mirror,
In search of my hair;
But to my dismay,
It’s no longer there.
I then wonder where,
The hair, it did go;
The pate mostly bare,
Does shine, even glow.
“Why do I miss it?”,
Your question so bold;
Cause when winter comes,
My head will get cold.
It’s true I can wear,
A cap or a hat;
But what little hair ‘s left,
Will look like a mat.
So pity the man,
Whose head ’s near bald;
For the time may come,
When your hair is recalled.
