BIT BY BITTER, by                    
First Line: His hair was so splendidly flaming
Last Line: Hot words that he spoke.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cheyney, Ralph
Subject(s): Hair


His hair was so splendidly flaming
I'd not be denier;
His mind was brilliant past taming
And set it on fire.

But now he is bald and much older,
And only a smoke
Of moustache reveals that there smoulder
Hot words that he spoke.
