LIKE THE WHITE CAT:
Yesterday my eyes were opened wide.
When into the mirror I did look.
Having washed my hair and about to sit down
To start reading my book.
These past twenty years or so,
I've been fighting off grey hair,
But it's taken a pandemic for it to turn white.
I could only stare.
Not only is it whilte .... but thinner,
Much to my dismay.
When a man turns white it's "Distinguished"
At least that's what people do say.
Oh for the hairdressers to reopen,
But from reports here that's not for a while.
Do I have to pass the mirror each day,
Wearing a false smile?
Well I can't do anything about it,
There are more important things to worry about.
So I will "Soldier On" regardless.
That is without a doubt.
HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY:

Well, you're not out and about and in front of a lot of people, so don't worry about it. White is better than grey anyway.
ReplyDeleteA good thing I'm not out and about Alex. Many thanks for coming by.
DeleteStay well and safe.
Yvonne.
White hair means you are carrying on. I'm younger than you and my hair has a lot of white - it is what it is. Head high, we persevere and yes - big smile!
ReplyDeleteYes Joanne while head held high.
DeleteKeep well and safe.
Yvonne.
I'm soldiering right along with you on the hair issues:)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard going Sandra but soldier on we must.
DeleteStay safe and well/
Yvonne.
Soldier on Yvonne. Hank's white hair had not seen the barber as often as before. After all, the MCO imposed 'stay at home' call has also been helpful. Stay safe Ma'am!

Thank you Hank hope you can see a barber soon.
DeleteTake care.

LOL ~ I can commiserate with you, Yvonne! I don't feel one bit distinguished. My three sisters transitioned to their natural hair colors before the pandemic. They keep remarking how pretty my hair is and asking if I'm going to keep it. Ha! No way! The moment I can get my hair colored, I'm there. Meanwhile I'm tolerating the white. Terry will be grateful to return to his barber, since I've been cutting his hair for almost a year. A barber I am not! May you and I both get to our hairdressers soon!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a nightmare Louise, my hair has grown in length but has got thinner too as well as going white.
DeleteDaughter tells me it's my age.
Hope you and Terry can get to the hairdressers and barbers soon.
Yvonne.
