Harried Spouse
Harried Spouse (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There once was a guy with no hair.
He’d shaved it all off on a dare.
His wife threw a fit
And she said,”This is it!
Grow it back, or I’ll have an affair!”

There once was a guy with no hair,
A toupee he never would wear.
He went and got plugs.
Then got many hugs.
From the girl who was once the au pair.
There once was a guy with no hair.
He really looked strange when bare.
He married an heiress,
with a Chinese Hairless,
and lived happily ever after, so there!
There once was a guy with no hair
It’s true that his pate was quite bare
To display manly strength
Grew a beard of great length
He cares not a fig how folks stare.
There once was a guy with no hair.
So a big wig he chose to wear.
The wig was impressive.
He looked quite aggressive.
And was often mistook for a bear.
There once was a guy with no hair
Loved the daughter of pop singer Cher
Till Chas became Chaz
A new organ he has
Said the bald guy, I’m not going there!
The once was a guy with no hair,
Who was filled with such deep despair.
He was known as a beau monde
with flowing tresses t’were blonde
until he mistakenly shampooed with Nair!
Better late than never… I hope.
There once was a guy with no hair
Whose shiny pate caused him despair.
Hair-raising pursuit
Made him no more hirsute.
“Tis unfair, but there’s still no hair there.
There once was a man with no hair
Due to the misuse of Nair
He thought it would save
Him from a shave
But instead he is permanently bare
There once was a man with no hair
Whose talent was exceedingly rare
When his nose he blew, his hair it grew
And when he sneezed it was no longer there
I’d be interested in setting up a meeting between your bald headed man and our bearded lady – but then I do have a weird sense of humour!

Looks like I’m running late. Here’s mine anyway.
There once was a guy with no hair
who wandered with nary a care.
He heard no one’s jeers
due to fur in his ears.
It had moved from up top to in there.
Better late than never, Sister AE! :)
Good to see you joining in Rob!
