Hair today...gone tomorrow
The sun beats down on my balding crown. The hat I wear is for prevention before-- I wore it for attention. The sun used to glisten off my thick black hair now it just shines... there's just scalp there. Women use to run their fingers through my mane now when they do it I loose the few strands that remain. So when you pass a bald man show respect and walk slow because what's firmly rooted today maybe gone when strong winds blow...
