An Ode to a White Hair

Apparently I haven't updated this blog since a long time... What better occasion than the arrival of the first white hair!
So here goes: :)

The birds chirped, the day was bright
Ditzy mode on: I was feeling light
Looked into the mirror, I was shiny and new
But the evening turned bitter, and I did rue
When a shiny thing caught my eye: behold!
A white hair: “Am I already growing old?”
“How did you get here? Where and how?”
My hair was black as the night: Until now!

There it shines brighter than the sun
Flashing itself out: it can’t be undone
As I slowly settled my grief into the bin
All hell broke loose: I found its twin
“Why are you here? Am I stressing big scenes?
Getting old this soon is not in my genes!

I might let you in my head, but not today
For now you are unwanted: you cannot stay”
With a pair of scissors and a big grin
I laid down the corpses: sans melanin
“Darn bright monsters, look at you!
Your owner’s not even twenty two.
For now, thou shall hide under my bed
And come back maybe when I am dead.”

After writing this, I'm now getting a feeling that if I had a guitar, I could totally turn it into a 'Phoebe Song'
