WHAT IF FUZZIE WUZZY WAS—ME?

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
And, like me, he had no hair
In fact, if Fuzzy was a bear covered
Head to toe in fur then
Wouldn’t ya think that
I, being a peep with
No hair no fur, at all, would have had
Little in common with
This fuzzy critter until my intuition chose to
Take a closer look into the magnified side of
My mirror where, much to my amazement
I came face to face with
A fuzzy creature, though
This Fuzzy Wuzzy, staring back
Was not a bear, being that
The mirror we’re talkin’ bout is
Mine, which makes it highly likely that
This Fuzzy Wuzzy creature is ME
What?  How in tarnation can that be?
Well—here’s how my transformation
Came to light seemingly—over night
You see, having transformed from
A long, dark haired lass into
A bald headed peep, I became
An over night sensation to myself as
My awareness of countless white fuzzies
Sprouting sraight through
The smooth slickness of
My hairless scalp, showed me to be
A brand new Fuzzy creature, who
Not being a bear, can testify that
My fuzzy wuzziness is based in this fact—
Ever since the blessed day of my birth
This gal has always been
A peep with the darkest of hair until
Chemo came along, followed by
Covid-19, which, upon coming
Together, offered yours truly that which
Feels like sci-fi paranormal, and if it’s true that
Today’s new normal is going to become
Tomorrow’s Thing then you may
Want to ask what makes me question
Whether or not the new fuzzy nature of
This white headed creature
Staring out of my mirror resembles
polar bear aptly named
Fuzzy Wuzzy for sound reason ...
Seriously—as of late
I’ve had the craziest
Midnight craving for
Marshmallow and penguin
Sandwiches—hold the crust
Just kidding!
I love penguins but not to eat!
It’s just that at this late point in
My life, this Snow White sensation is
Still brand new; in fact, I’d be surprised if
It showed up in a photo, as of yet, so
No snapshots of Fuzzy Wuzzy Annie sans
Hat, turban or cap will be offered till
Whensoever my snow capped scalp
Can be sighted without need to get so
Close and personal as to squint ...
