**grey Hairs! Poem by RAJ NANDY
**grey Hairs!
GREY HAIRS!
When those initial grey hairs begin to
sprout,
You are generally in a state of doubt,
And with forceps you try to pluck them
out!
When I had tried to pull out a few,
A fresh new bunch sprouted and grew!
And when I used colored dyes on my head,
Goose pimples sprouted up instead!
I am allergic to dyes and those artificial
things,
I wish I had known from the beginning!
Now going along with the flow of time,
I walk in step with nature and rhyme!
So let this richly acquired white crop grow;
Why make a mockery of this passing show? !

really funny Raj. You have so graphically captured the ageing blues and how finally we come to accept it. Actually men look distinguished with that white crop of hair, women they say look dowdy. hilarious10++ Mamta
Very amusing. But I agree with Mamta. Men do look distinguished with white hair. Thank you for this. I enjoyed the read. Warm regards, Sandra

it's all right, we all grow old. it's how you carry yourself. but it's better to grow old naturally and elegantly. entertaining! : -)
Rajda, Thanks for highlighting this 'hair-raising' issue! Good advice though... Cheers. Subroto
That is the way one should accept oneself...quite interesting
