    Two shades of gray.
    There coming in thicker and thicker
    one by one they settle in, my two shades of gray,
    I'm getting older it seems
    and my wisdom is showing
    seems only dye can keep them at bay.

    Soon they'll take over and fill my whole top
    and as my crowing glory,
    I'll be referred to as old pop
    as they sit on my knee and aske me
    to tell them a story.

    I'm sure that when that day arrives
    I'll be ready and set.
    But as for now I like them black
    on that you can surely bet!

    I love this! Been thinking of gray lately and never realized there would be more than one shade, maybe I should put my glasses on to see =}

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
