Grey Pride - Admitting in Rhyme to the Passage of Time

Linda Ann Nickerson

Silver's in style;
It's been for a while.
So show your profile,
And flash 'em a smile!

Dare to display
Your full crown of grey.
Just comb it your way.
Who cares what they say?

Don't deny it,
And don't fry it.
Modify it;
Maybe dye it.

Or let it be
With dignity,
And oversee
Your family tree!

    Oh yes, I quit dying mine many years ago. Wonderful poem.

    Mine is white and I just gave up on dying it. I agree, let it be!
