Immersed in the depths of dark despair,
I ponder: What shade to dye my hair?
Red like April? Black like Cher ?
Yellow’d; to match my underwear?
No that’s just silly!
But then, Slick Willy,
Adopted a salt and pepper shade.
It got him elected! It got him laid!
But I’ll eschew his precedent.
I’ve no wish to be President…
A festive blonde hue, I'd surely try it
If only I had hair, to dye it.
Of my once thick locks remains no follicle.
Not hank, nor wisp, nor strand, nor molecule.
No colors can the stylist bring,
Oh dyeing’s not an easy thing.

Just like Prom night, hmmm?
Oh, you funny, funny boy! That's a wonderful poem and for shame to Helium for not appreciating a work of art! I would post any poem or story you wish to write. You are awesome!
