Losing Inside Out... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Losing Inside Out...



He wandered in vain in the richest woods
In search of a magic herb;
For the village apothecary too
Couldn’t offer him much help...

He met those thugs in the market place,
The traders in real time wigs;
Unable to counter their cunning wits
He escaped with minor hits...

Walking tired along the sea side gorge
Caught his attention a call;
‘Get in here right now for better looks
And exchange your heads for naught’

The loss was too bad; he immensely sad
And irresistibly mad,
Went inside; the loggerhead turtles
Waiting there promptly had his scalp...

Oooooohhh...To buy Rogaine, or not to buy Rogaine...that is the question? No, i think not...For, the mind inside the head that houses the hair is far more of value than any aesthetics, that do nothing more for our sense of life-wisdom, than poor genes did for the folliclely challenged...! Graet Write & message here, my friend...Happy New Year! FjR

A very good write, Kesav. Humorous treatment of a, sometimes, sore subject. Honestly though, I've experienced it both ways, with and without hair and I must confess, without is much less trouble. Best wishes, my friend. Richard
