The Lyrics

My head looks moth-eaten, an embarrassment.
It is almost just like follicles can’t pay rent.
Look at me now: there’ll be no return,
above my brow, of a mane that was once so whole;
what’s left’s a keratin atoll.
Just one look and you might see hairy string—
follic’ nooks contain hardly anything. Woe-oe!

Alopecia: hair, bye, goes again;
flies, flies; to date I resist tou’.
Alopecia: when wind blows, again—
flies, flies—bald spots no one’s kissed. Euw!
Once it was nicely parted;
now in a trice, departed.
Cry, cry I; all the day my tears flow.
Alopecia, increasingly grow
shines, shines on my dome where’s hair no mo’.

I was hairy on head: came out a bit, then a slew;
the drain down it went when tines of the comb went through.
I’d watch it go, cascades to the floor;
I tried a combover after I grew strands long.
Just one look and you might see hairy string—
follic’ nooks contain hardly anything. Go-oes!

Alopecia: hair, flies, goes again
bye-bye! My mates eyes are winced too.
Alopecia: when wind blows, again—
shine, shine—bald spots are evinced. Euw!
Once it was nicely parted;
now it’s like ice departed.
Cry, cry I; all the day my tears flow.
Alopecia: more’s going away:
bye-bye. . .leaving as if severed.
Alopecia: on a sunny day,
shines, shines like a hen de-feathered.

Alopecia: hairline rose again. . .
Flies—bye! How can I resist tou’?
Alopecia: when skin glows, again—
I ply bald spots with what grips: glue.
Again, it’s nicely parted
since mastic, vise-like started.
Pride, pride in my pasted pate I show.
Alopecia, no one has to know:
I hide shiny spots with mop that’s faux.

LOL @ the "parted/departed" & "hen" lines & especially @ "keratin atoll".

And for your next challenge - you have to do this to the tune of Mona Lisa ('cus that's what I keep hearing here - ha ha)

Nice one, JAB. I want my share of the royalties when this parody hits the big time, I assume I was your role model :) I particularly liked the line "Once it was nicely parted". Surprised to see Merry didn't work the word 'tonsured' into her comments, she must be slipping.

555! Sounds familiar... didn't you use this same title in our "Mona Lisa" PoP challenge? We ran 64 parodies off that one :)
