On a mesh, spirit glued to skin
fits a role, one's next of kin;
take it off, the face is free
try on a piece, images for fees.

Hair piece to cover the hole on top
upturned moustache for Clouseau in a frock
"Madame, I am your trusted inspecteur,
Why do you bat your eyes on your pet fur?"

Goatee for the muscateers who brandished foils
Wigs of stature in Egypt when plagues brought boils;
Ladies knew law men who wore distinctive pieces
window manaquin exhibits new facial releases.

Eyelashes lengthened to outline the eyes
Hair sprayed wigs attracts window flies;
"Madame, you have a trusted private detective,
hair pieces are chosen in taste, I'm selective."

Ah this is on a subject matter I detest and I wish you had added in those "combovers" what's with them anyway?  This was fun read.

ecrivan, this is unique. Did you mean glued, not gluded? Or am I missing something here? I enjoyed this hair raising history lesson.

Midnitesun,

Yes it's glued not gluded; your comment has me think of continuing this with compound words using 'hair'.Glad you enjoyed/

I really loved this one, Martin...
When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I bought 2 really beautiful and fairly expensive wigs which look very much like my own hair except a bit fuller...
but so far, I've not had to wear them because I still have my hair...although it has turned grey...
I hope I never need those wigs and maybe I'll just save them for bad hair days instead of no hair days.
thanks for sharing.
