When I discovered my first gray hair,
I immediately wrote to my parents:
"Dear Dad and Mom, You saw my first steps.
You might want to experience this with me too."
I taped the offending hair to the paper and mailed it.
My father's response, titled
"Sonnet to a Hair," began:
It 's a trustworthy observation
That nothing can compare In the process of aging
With finding the first gray hair.
He signed off with this observation:
"That gray hair you sent us
is not the first one you gave us!"
