Losing My Hair & Purchasing Rogaine: A Poem
Today I bought some Rogaine and it wasn’t my intention
To lose my hair at 25 and hate my own reflection.
It was once long and wild, stylish, yet messy
In the vein of John Stamos, who once played Uncle Jesse.
But now it’s fading fast, and I don’t know what to do
Soon I’ll look like Bruce Willis, while filming Die Hard 2.
I can’t pull off that bald look, and Heather, it’d be really mean,
If you decided to leave me, for resembling Mr. Clean.
And it it doesn’t work, I hope you’ll still give me a kiss.
When I’m bald and posing for pictures…
… looking just like this.
you know your blog is awesome when it finally includes a photo of john stamos. well played, eric, well played.

Now you HAVE to put up a picture of your thinning hair. I don’t believe it’s true. Worst case senario: shave your arm hair and glue to to your scalp.

i think i just cried a little.. i love you bun! that short, bald indian man was a bit closer to what you’ll look like though.

Your poems is not only rhythmic, but flows almost as beautifully as your still-remaining hair. But I would like to point out that Bruce Willis is awesome no matter how much hair he may lose.
PS- When you do your George Costanza pose I hope you will also post it here for all of your fans to view!

Oh Eric! Haha that was beautiful! I don’t think your lady would leave you if you looked like Mr. Clean….
Goodluck with Rogaine!

dear eric,
i don’t blame heather if she leaves you for mr. clean. he is a sexy man, and he will clean her house. do you clean her house for her? no. you just play halo and lose your hair. useless! mr. clean is a far better catch!
(we still love you anyway)

Dude, Mr. Clean is ripped. The ladies love him (or so I’ve heard). So it doesn’t matter if you go totally bald. Just make sure your dome stays shiny and start lifting some weights!

Eric, would you blame me if i left you for Bruce Willis?

You’ve stolen my prefered form of written expression in the life mocking poetry you’ve just shared here. I’m angry that you’re infringing on my territory. You don’t see me pretending to write novels that no one ever gets to see even though when I started writing it I told you that I needed you to read every chapter for feedback do you? No, b/c I repsect your hold on the make believe novel game.

Welcome to the Receding Hairline Club…It DOES suck, but you get used to it. Now is the time to work on your beard! Also, all the hair that you lose on your head will grow somewhere else soon: ears, nose, throat ;)…It’s a glorious life.
