Ageing. Who me?? Never!!!! A grey hair popped up Out of nowhere this morning I think it was lost and looking for a home I let it abide and by evening Its brother was at its side. Oh dear no, I said I'll have none of this Stop right there; no more relatives The two of you are more than enough And if you don't like it I'll get tough And pull you out. Better yet laser you Or even dye you, so others won't feel welcome When they see me asleep And think they can crop up like lost sheep Expecting me to house them and feed them the same As I do the rest of my splendid brown mane. Age may be relative, but you do not belong. So stop at two, cause three is a crowd And I will not tolerate Being taken for a sucker, a soft touch, if you may No I shall not be a party to your greying game. So NO MORE; and I'm not saying please That is a command - definite - Beware! I have scissors and razors and other lethal gear That will kill you off- You're not welcome here! A word to the wise is sufficient so don't be foolish. I am young I tell you, and not ageist But grey is not my colour, no matter what shade And white is for trinkets and other accessories Like scarves and bags; so no tomfoolery. Leave my head alone, and yes, down there Cause I swear I'll uproot you and burn you in your grave. #ageing #antiaging #angst #gettingold #poem #poetry #personal #oldagerant #oldage #grey #greyhair #greying #lifechanges #nature #naturalhair #whitening #ode #lovingit #scary #moment #photograph #funnyposts #havealaugh https://www.instagram.com/hephzibahbenadam/p/BtRHu-LnqKv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x8023xb7nj72
