Note to self (20)

So we are born bald
And a lot of us will
End up that way again.
Live gives you stuff
Then takes it away.
Progressively.
So I love my Yul Brinner look,
Destiny all my hair  away took
But then again I have a skull
Made for it, which is not
The case for all.
Some men are funny
Or too proud to assume
So they go  with  a toupée
Which on most is most
Obvious if not entirely ugly,
But pride is pride,
Silly things to try to push
Time and Destiny away.
As for women,
Some have thinning hair
As well, but let's be gentle
And not go there,
Sometimes Destiny is neither
Gentle nor fair.
