HAIR APPARENT  ©   Don Read 3.12.13

 Amos Bloggs awoke one day

To find his hair had gone away

He rushed out to buy a cap

To hide this inexplicable mishap

He rubbed in some restoring ointment

But all he got was disappointment

In desperation  he arranged a consultation

with the leading  wig producers of the nation

One night  a chap called with a list

He said he was a specialist

In taupe’s which would do the trick

Of giving Amos hair quite quick

Then questions came thick and fast

How long would this hairpiece last ?

Could I do the Irish Jig in it?

Will I look fat or thin in it ?

Will me mates think I’m a fairy?

Will it scare my pet canary?

Can I do the highland fling in it?

Can you confirm that I could swim in it ?

“No Sir”, shrieked the hairpiece man

“But fill it up with water and your goldfish can”

Altogether now “But fill it up with water and your goldfish can” !!
