Follically Challenged..A Hairy Tale..
It really isn't funny when men, of a certain age, wonder where the luxurious locks of their youth have departed to... as has been the case of my poor husband...
A tongue in cheek look at being ever so slightly follically challenged...No offence meant Guys...
My hubby when I met him,
all those decades, long ago..
Had such a healthy head of hair..
Of which he use to grow..
It curled in locks a-plenty,
sitting proud upon his head,
and oh so dark as ebony...
A tousled look just out of bed..
In truth, it rarely saw a brush..
His fingers were his comb..
He was tall and so good looking..
well, he made this gal his own..
Even I had often envied,
his curls so thick and long..
Yet now three decades later..
I fear something has gone wrong!
'Cos there is a spreading bald patch,
where his curls had always grown...
And I swear that it's expanding,
as his follicles have flown..
I tell him that I love him still,
and give the usual flannel..
Said he's also Ecological..
with his built-in Solar Panel!
