Only Dyed

I dyed my hair red now he’s dying for me the flames leaping no shame no shame he is wide-eyed puppy-tailed i’ll lead him by the leash release him release me can you see us on the front cover of a trashy romance i dyed my hair red oh the flames be flying I’m swatting him away the grays no-mattering it’s a crying shame we must grow old oh the boldness the brave we’re not dead yet only dyed tied up for kindling a novel kind of love it burns s h a m e l e s s l y hot 6/29/2022

This would have been more than enough for a second fantastic poem "it’s a crying shame we must grow old oh the boldness the brave we’re not dead yet only dyed"

This poem is in the groove. I'm just dying to move; the red head is not dead--just resting in bed. Groovy verse.

How a delightful poem it is, I think we all should dye whatever hair we have in order to live in harmony with one another, dearest Kim. Blessings!

I have no hair on top left...so I let my beard keep getting longer -- hmm, a red, viking beard. Now that has appeal. "it’s a crying shame we must grow old oh the boldness the brave we’re not dead yet"-- You said it! Brava!
