He used to have hair dark and curly.
He prayed for it to straighten--
Thinner would be great he said,
Then he'd look like Elvis.
Now it's thin, wavy,
Most white, some gray.
Yesterday
Wasn't
Bad!

Friday 5:
kiss

vale
simper

****************************************************

While
I
Simper,
Fences close
'Round my vale of years.
Blow a kiss to life's passing train.
