Where did Grandpa\u2019s hair go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His head is smooth and shiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if he stands out in the sun,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s reflective and quite blinding.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did it fall out all at once, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or did it take a while?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why does Grandma have all hers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or is that just his style?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where did Grandpa\u2019s hair go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will it come back at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes when I see his head,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I mistake it for a ball!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did it fly off in the wind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or was he stuck in mud?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was it ’cause of Grandma?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or stress in Noah\u2019s flood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked him once why he was bald,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this is what he said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
