An Ugly Toupee

My computer has been down and I celebrate by sharing a poem I wrote about men who wear terrible toupees.


An Ugly Toupee
By Larry Linville

I saw a guy the other day
whose hair I thought would blow away.
His wig seemed to be falling down
which made him look just like a clown.

Like him, I have lost all my hair
but I don’t pretend it’s still there
and seeing someone with a wig
makes me think of a pampered pig.

A pig that’s been soaked in a tub
and bathed then given a big rub.
With a ribbon tied on its neck
making it really look like heck

No combing hair over for me
or transplants that cost a great fee.
I am really quite at home
with my smooth and shiny dome.
