Baldly Stated

silly sonnet

 

 

 

Baldly stated.

 

I use to wear it centre parted.

 But now alas it has departed

When I was young I had thick hair

but now my head’s completely bare.

I wear a hat against the sun

 a sunburnt scalp is not much fun.

The only plus that I can see

I need not pay a barbers fee

 nor spend my money on shampoo

As hirsute men are forced to do.

A sign of masculinity

 they say though I would rather be

Possessor of a well thatched head

 than one from which all hair has fled.

From a young man to a wise one, your words are full of mirth and wit. I enjoyed this very much.

I love it. Puts some humor in the process of "Going Bald." My husband can relate. I know in the beginning stages it was very difficult for him. Some men are more handsome bald anyway. Toupees are a whole lot worse. If you've ever seen a bad one, you'd rather be BALD. LOL

Smiles to your sonnet, without splitting hairs, humorous and well written

[Poeticpiers]

Sonnets are so versatile they accomodate humour ,satire nature and love stories with ease. I tend to write mine mainly in tetrameter just my personal idiosyncracy ivor
Glad you enjoyed

Amused greatly! I love the sense of humour you appear to have! I also happen to love this style/type of rhyming scheme, it is simply easy to read and enjoyable!

It's nice to see your lighter side. An excellent insight into the follically-deprived condition. Sam
