GRANDDAD'S
TOUPEE
By Josie Whitehead
Our Granddad bought a toupee
Meant to hide his balding spot.
In winter it was snug and warm
But in summer it was hot.
​
It caused his head to itch a lot,
Which drove him almost mad,
But he wouldn’t take it off outside
And this was rather sad.
​
The situation was so bad
That he groaned at everyone.
He was miserable, quite fretful
And he didn’t have much fun.
​
As soon as he returned back home,
He’d take it from his head:
'My life is good without this thing,'
Is what poor Granddad said.
He sat out in his garden seat;
His work was all complete.
He had a yawn and shut his eyes
And quickly fell asleep.
​
His head dropped forward on his chest;
The toupee did as well.
Then Mac, his terrier dog, arrived
And discovered a strange smell.
​
He pounced upon the toupee
For he thought it was a rat.
'I’ll not have rats at my home -
So I’ll soon dispose of that!'
​
He held the toupee in his jaws
And shook with all his might,
And Granddad’s feeling happier now
Without an itch in sight.
