CAUTION: FALLING HAIRS

Harry had a head of hair

It was long, thick and red.

And of his hair, he took great care,

It covered Harry’s head.

But as he got older,

Harry had to concede.

His hair was getting thinner

And starting to recede.

Based on the baldness,

Of his ancestors past.

It was a sure thing,

Harry’s hair wouldn’t last.

One by one his hairs fell out,

Never to be seen again.

Before too long Harry’s head,

Was showing lots of skin.

Hairs disappeared and vanished.

Gone without a trace.

Harry knew he was going bald,

It was taking longer to wash his face.
