Bald

[Huguenot]

I'm not going bald.

I'm thinking about the drama of posting. I like to think about the rhythmn and cadence of posting. I don't always use the words I'm inclined to, because I'm trying to achieve rhythmn and cadence.

Take this one...

I'm obstreperous, cantakerous and just plain bloody difficult, but I'm not goind bald.

Great rhythmn, it gives you a two beat demand: obSTREP orous, canTANKerous and then forces you to lie in wait for the DIFFicult with a fade away on 'I'm not going bald'.

Either way, I'm not going bald.

I don't post in anger, just frustration: I put my hands on my face and then run them to my my hair.

I did the same thing rhythimically there, originally my post was 'up to my hair', but it had no rhythmn. Crazy eh?

I'm worried about my hair thinning. Orginally I'd run my fingers through my top knot. I was called puby-head not long ago. Now I can see my scalp in the mirror. Whatever, I'm not going bald.

So.

At the age of forty I feel like an oldie. I'm losing my faculties, my mentalities, but I'm not going bald.

I appreciate, ameliorate your issues, if you're going bald through male pattern hair loss.

But my hair is longer on the sides than the top.

Have you tried fisking?

Good one Narnia! Works for me...I don't look a day over ahem *2. And I have masses of hair - want some Huguenot?

[Huguenot]

Whatever.

Still not bald though. Not that there's anything wrong with bald. It's just going quite quick.

The post was also about poetry as well!

[Ladymuck]

Awwww Huguenot - I was only teasing you. Where's that wicked sense of humour gone? Out with the hair? ;-)

[Huguenot]

;-)

So, reading this...

Homeward bound the ploughman plods his weary way.

Beautiful, a pleasure to read and say. Rhythmn and cadence.

HOMEward BOUND the PLOUGHman PLODS his WEARy WAY

Almost iambic pentameter, but graceful, and beautiful to read. The bullshit technical description is irrelevant compared with the sheer pleasure of the melody in your mind when reading it.

This is good stuff.

How then, our own? Ted Max, brilliant. His prose is a pleasure to read. *Bob*? Astounding. But both of them convey an amazing grasp of rhythmn and cadence. Ted Max is all about surprise and pathos.

[Huguenot]

But maybe it's about the thinning hair ;-)

Anyone else?

I thought I was going bald, until I realised that, in fact, my head hair had simply re-located to grow from by back, shoulders, ears and nostrils. So life isn't too bad really. :)) (that's a picture of me, by the way)

[Ladymuck]

Awwww Huguenot, by Ladymuck

I fear I have offended you

I really was just teasing

So I write to say I'm sorry

And hope you find this pleasing.

[Huguenot]

Hmph.

Doggerell. ;-)

Nice try, but I'm looking for poetry and baldness.

I want to hear guys talking with chutzpah about scalps.

Come on baldies!

[Keef]

I'm not going bald, I just can't have long hair anymore.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I fear Huguenot, you have nailed down the pathetic phallusy.

A Sobering Tale of the Terraces

Ashamed I am, that as a young thug

To those whose head had hairless patch

As loud and lewd and crude as I could

Would hurl abuse as he played the match.

"Lockhead! Lockhead! ...Andy Lockhead!"

Oh we had fun making fun through the game

But oh how my laughter soon faded to pain

As barely a year since such cruel refrain

So bare was a patch on my head it came!

[felt-tip]

when you are old and bald and full of sleep.

an improvement perhaps, rhytmically - but alas, emotively, not.

[????]

[Ladymuck]

Oh, now everyone's lit up...cough...asthma...hang on, I'm getting confused with threads...ahhh all part of getting old.

Enjoyed that though ????.

[giggirl]

Hey it's not just a guy thing: I've been completely bald - twice - an illness thing. Shit happens. It grew back.

[Judy2]

Just saw 40 blokes go from full head of hair to bald - opening shots of Full Metal Jacket - ITV1. Some brilliant lines.

your going bald, dont worry about it, consider it a solar panel for a sex machine. I went bald when i was a teenager and couldnt grow a beard till my thirties, you may be cantankerous and obstreperous,(whatever that means)and bald,but at least you are eloquent. my feeling is that being those three things probably don't get you laid often but you can talk or type your way out of a shag with some style, thats a talent. Growing hair isn't a talent and having a moody mid life crisis is about par for the course with or without hair! dont worry we still love ya and you will be surprised at how many sexy girls cant resist a rub of a bald head after a slippery nipple or two!! hurrah for the chrome dome I say!!

hugs

Bloomin Heck!

As one ages aches and pains becomes something one lives with on a fairly regular basis,

when this happens baldness becomes an irrelevance,

removing the pain becomes all absorbing.

If for example you walked across the room in bare feet and soundly stubbed your toe,

you would immediately forget the bald pate and cry out, curse and blaspheme at the shock of injury.

So if one day we meet at the forum drinks I will happily administer a good kick on the shins,

thus obliterating any hairless embarrassment.

Only because we like you and wish to be of service would we do this.

My kindest regards, Steve.

[Mick Mac]

Nice one Steve. Puts my receding hairline in perspective. But unbeknown to you I will be wearing shinpads.

[SteveT]

:)):)) Mick Mac you made me smile.
