Ran with the prompt, "Body Part"
Hair [Or Lack There Of]
[2022/02/02

I've gotten older
and have lost most of my hair.
To be perfectly honest
I don't really care.
It takes no time to wash it,
and it dries just like that.
But the hair loss from there
keeps coming back.
[V]
Ah! When I was young,
had a mane like a lion's.
God! Strike me down if
you think that I'm lying.
Thick, long, and curly,
that my girlfriend adored.
Think I lost some of it
on a squeaky old headboard. OOOO!

Hair now...
sticks out of my nose,
sticks out of my ears.
Out of my knuckles
where it's not been for years.
You'll find some on my belly,
a few strands on my bed.
But you won't find much hair
on my head.

For a time after marriage
my mop still hung on.
But when the kids started coming
it had gotten up and gone.
A prolonged process
that lay hidden a-top.
In the center of my head
where it just wouldn't stop.

Have this one hair grey and not showing.
I pluck it and pluck it, and it just keeps on growing.
That got me thinking 'bout the hairs I have left.
If I pluck those few, what could I expect?

Hair out of my nose, on all of my toes.
Hair on my back, that's a fact, Jack.
One lonely hair from my now absent eyebrows.
Hair popping out anywhere, anytime now.......
