He was warned when he first got it

He was warned, it must be said

That a Tribble-Gremlin cross-breed

Ought not be worn upon your head

----

He was wary of the bald-patch

Disliked the typical toupee

Wanted something extra special

To keep the looming grey at bay

He used his wealth and influence

Sent a message from his tower

Requesting some geneticists

It's rather dark and bleak in here
and I think I've worked out why;
We've nothing left to talk about -
the conversation has run dry

That’s me - an old bookworm

I’m being quiet at the moment

You know, I was made for this job

I’ve got pretty good at it too

Scaring crows is a vocation

I’ve lost the means to strut my stuff

Long ago, when I first started

I was keen to make some friends

But it seems my arms-out posture
