Ode to a Man with Male patterned baldness!
by Val Ford

From the top of your lip to your toes,
The hair on your body just grows.....
From the hair on your face,
(Where it grows quite a-pace)
Right down to the bits that don't shows.

Where it grows on your back it's so cute,
As it curls down the back of your suit.
It sprouts just like wheat
Right down to your feet -
(And it's really quite sweet) -
Making one who's astute, quite hirsute.

However, when cold nips the air.....
Well really, you do need more hair!
For 'twould be better instead
If it covered your head,
And left all the rest of you bare!
