And that was not okay

I remember the day
that my hair went away
It started off
like any other day
It started off okay
I showered
and that was okay
I shaved
and that was okay
I put on my briefs
and that was okay
I put on my socks
and that was okay
I blow dried my hair
and that was okay
The phone rang
and that was okay
I lit a smoke
and that was okay
I applied hair spray
and that was not okay
That was the day
my hair went away.

A letter to me

Wrote myself a letter today
Hope I get it soon
Told myself all about you
The things you say
And the things you do
Sure hope the postage is right
I don’t send many letters you see
But the return address is my own
So it’ll come right back to me
I told myself how lucky I am
To have met a woman like you
It really doesn’t matter where we are
Or the things we do
I’ll take what I can get
It all feels right with you
I wrote myself a letter today
I wonder when I’ll get it
I’ll have to wait and see
I don’t get many letters you see
And I’ve never gotten one from me
I wrote with words of wisdom
And words that are kind
I hope that when I open it
Those are the words I will find
The letter that was written
The letter that was sent
The letter full of words and thoughts
All of which I meant
Today I wrote a letter
And sent it off to me
I wonder when I get it
What reaction I’ll get from me
When I read the words I wrote
In the letter I wrote to me
