Started this when I was clean out of ideas

Released it now so that anyone who ever said

"This guy's a nutter"

Can revel in their uncanny astuteness

---------------------------------------------------------------------

He who would valiant be ’gainst hair disaster Let hair hold constantly, though winds blow faster There’s no discouragement shall make his hair relent His first avowed intent to be in Brylcreem Who would be going round with bad hair stories Do cyclones then confound - wind strength the more is No hair shall then take flight, though it’s a giant fight His hair stays good and right by wearing Brylcreem Since Lord he must defend his hair with spirit He knows that wind you send, he shall not fear it Some toupee’s flee away, he’ll fear not that today He’ll labour night and day to be in Brylcreem

I thought it was all hair gel these days. Brylcreem always looked like lard to me ;-)

I don’t think I could have bared smearing that gunk on my bonce. Don’t know where this absurd notion came from. Glad the book is progressing. Terry

Lol, I used to plaster myself with that obnoxious stuff when I was younger, it's no wonder I haven't got any now. Who loves ya baby. Tom

Never actually used it, Tom. I remember there was always a tub of it in my grandad’s house.
