(the word toupee, in Dark Stranger's "coffee man toupee" below, sent my mind sailing)


A Spot of Tea?

toupee
or not toupee
that is one
hairy query
“Suicide is Painless,”
said M*A*S*H*
in double time

and should one
resort
to a self-scalping
of some sort
surely the initial
surly move
might create
a painful groove

should one make a score
with a scalpel
‘cross the fore
head of a suspecting
victim
he would likely
kick ‘im
if he could
muster a toehold

for self-preservation
is a ration
given out
to each creation
by a loving
Master
ask your pastor
or rabbi
or reverand
God wants the upper
hand,
but because of love
and righteous jealousy, He gives choice–
love Him and His gift of life, or no

after all, tea is stronger
for the steeping,
cease weeping and take His hand

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

After tea . . . probably toupee, but being a coffee drinker, I just don't know.

Hmmm...

Toupee
or not toupee,
that IS the question...
