Baldies.

There I was in the jazz club

Listening to the jazz,

Having a fine time

The music taking me

To those places

Where music reigns.

My friend sat in front ,

Sat in front of me

Around the table.

He was lacking in hair,

No problem with  this

But the man in front of him

Had no hair either,

Or the man in front of that one.

And there they were,

Five men in a line,

Five men in front of me

All without hair.

There were baldies everywhere.

So funny to see

When my hair is so thick,

So thick and dark.

And it is not as though I am younger,

Younger than the rest,

The rest of the old fogies,

The old fogies enjoying jazz,

Enjoying jazz as we have been,

Have been for many, many years.
