Silver Thread

 What's this on my chin

Looks like lint, but won't brush off,
Tucked tight in my beard

Good Lord! A gray hair!
What can I possibly do
to feel young again ?

Suddenly so old---
Reverse the signs of aging---
They'll call me Gray Beard!

I could shave it off
Maybe join Hair Club For Men
Buy some new tweezers

Time for a sports car
Gotta get a trophy wife
Become "hip" again

Salt and pepper's cool
Snow on roof, fire in furnace
Better get wise quick

Go see a doctor
A good gerontologist
He'll give me something

Advice on aging
A A R P membership
I should quit smoking

I'll be the Great Sage
Elder of my mountain tribe
Not just some...old...man
