Even though my family members have successfully proven to
the world that they are considerably smarter than I am, given enough time I’m
planning eventually to be an egg-head too. No I’ll probably never know complicated
math or be able to do crossword puzzles without adding in a few extra black
squares to fit MY solutions. But fortunately, time is on my side since every
day nature takes my soft n’ boiled noodle one step closer to naked noggin
nirvana.
Overall I’ve had a good relationship with my follicle fur and
we usually have remained friends through thick and THIN (though recently our
times together have tended toward the latter). When I was younger my fuzzy
filaments did not always do my bidding or act the way I preferred, but what
teenager ever listens to its guardian so it was understandable that whenever we
parted ways, grease was ultimately involved.
I guess I have been lucky overall since most of my life I’ve had ample hair
raising’ close calls even though they usually concerned curly cowlicks and
bed-head lasting impressions rather than any actual downy danger.
As I age though, I have begun to notice that I am spending
less and less quality time with my old and gray shock of locks, and it’s clear
we are heading for ‘splits-ville’. Even my hats don’t want much to do with me
any longer and seem to use any excuse to abandon my shiny dimpled dome, though
that may be just the sweaty ski-slope n’ sunblock up top talking. The good news is that with every hair that I
share and shed in my travels helps me lose weight and better yet conveniently distributes
confusing DNA evidence in case I’m ever accused of a CAPital crime.
