Baldies.

Goldfinch60



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.

        Yes lol. Were heads the same size millions of years ago?
        I don\'t believe in humans evolving from apes, but it shows big man-ape like heads in some books.

        Must be a club or a music dominant gene that causes (?) baldness? :=)

        • Goldfinch60

            You might have been trendy in the sixties, Son, but you sure as hell ain't any more. Don't you know that bald with a scraping of facial fungus is the in thing?

            • Goldfinch60

              It doers seem to be the in thing Dave but not for me I am afraid, I still live in the sixties. LOL

                Dear poet you are most fortunate to be in the 30% of men who do not go bald. My father-in-law had a full head of white hair at 100. There must be something very special about you guys. This was such an entertaining write and great music to boot. Thank You!

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Bella, I do have a few grey hairs but as I say to people I have fewer grey hairs than my younger brother.
