Hair tonic for men

Sunday morning rituals

Polished shoes, dark socks,

Dress pants, shirt, tie,

Wear your damn belt,

Comb that rat’s nest

Go back and part your hair

Do something with your cowlick

You wanted Brylcreem

“a little dab’ll do ya”

But Dad used Vitalis

Hair Tonic for Men

He was bald on top

You knew why he didn’t use

That, ‘greasy kid’s stuff’

And wisely replied, “Yes, sir”
