Grey Hair
It’s been quite a while now since I discovered my first grey hair. This is a short poem about that traumatic experience:
GOING GREY
It was quite a shock I must say,
When I looked in the mirror yesterday,
I brushed my hands through my hair,
As I do everyday, without a care,
It was then I saw, to my dismay,
An indication of ensuing decay,
And I thought to myself, this isn’t fair,
As I stared with disbelief at the hair,
If I were forty, I would not make a fuss,
But I’m only twenty so I feel I must!
Alas, I put it down to fate,
Twenty years old and going grey!
