286 - To dye, or not to dye: that's the question

To dye, or not to dye: that’s the question:
Whether ’tis nobler to change hair colour -
The slings and arrows of outrageous fun
At my expense I see - or go greyer?
To dye, to weep no more in the mirror,
To end that heartache with unnatural locks
Of reddish hairdo, consolation for
The drought of youthful kisses: hair dye rocks!
No steep price paid for cream: aye, rub in lots;
For when asleep in bed it will not run,
But shovelled on, will totally foil the
Rust of lived years: hair’s the respect that flocks
To make complimentary song: wife, listen -
For you dye your hair, why can’t I mine, huh?
