HAIRY STORY

 

Ravi Srivastava

 

Night turns to day, and day to night,

I lose a few more hair;

The ones that stay are turning white,

Increasing my despair.

 

My sorrow makes me wonder if,

I’ll have any for you;

When you become as old as I,

To run your fingers through.

 

What will you rumple or caress,

Or try to gently kiss;

When my topmost is dark and smooth,

Won’t you my tresses miss?

 

We two will make a funny pair,

At least that is my view

When mine are lost but you have yours,

Won’t you lend me a few?
