Bald

      I smeared magic lotion,
      Drank a quart of herbal potion.
      Tried standing on my head,
      Tonic water; special bed.
      Chanted mantra, practiced yoga,
      Got some tea from Sumatra.
    

      After trying them all,
      I am totally appalled,
      I am still quite bald.
