I was knee-high to a tarantula and

While some say baldness and

Dreams only echo my obsession, whether

Fatal entanglement in the

Snake hair of the Gorgon or the odd dusting by

The magic locks of Isis.

Last night I dreamed once more I was Samson but

On waking quite limp it was clear

Overdone it with the shears.

I only hope the barbers re-open

While I still have some left
