My Friend I got a story
It's a hooter let me say
Just had me an experience
"A really Bad Hair Day"
My handle in the old home town
was Beautiful Bob - "The Hair"
Flowing locks that felt like silk
and I treated them with care
Stroll I did to the Barber shop
to get a wash and trim
I got assigned a barber
Whose name was "Tiny Tim"
I sat down with a smile
Happiness filled my heart
All was seemingly perfect
Till "Tiny" got his start
He had to step on tip-toes
to reach my head of hair
Clippin' up and clippin' down
I looked - my head was bare
Now you've heard my story
I've told you every bit
That is why you see me
In a hat that doesn't fit
Mr. Doug

Nice old fashioned funny poem! Terrific to see a new competitor at this late stage, and sorry you had to lose your hair to get a prize
Your poem was really a hoot
But now you're as bald as a coot
So just stay in bed
And hide your bare head
And give the short barber the boot!
